| joe_ | hey yall, I am trying to install aMSN on Ubuntu and the instructions say I need to execute the comman ./configure . Where do I type that? in terminal? | 00:08 |
| coreymon77 | Daisuke_Laptop: what did you do? | 00:09 |
| flipstar | miladen: hm maybe becorse its an unregonized parameter ? | 00:09 |
| coreymon77 | joe_: isnt amsn on apt yet? | 00:09 |
| miladen | the manual itself tells me to do exactly the same flipstar | 00:09 |
| joe_ | coreymon77: no idea what ya mean :( | 00:09 |
| flipstar | joe_: right you have to type that in terminal | 00:10 |
| coreymon77 | !apt | joe_ | 00:10 |
| ubotu | joe_: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 00:10 |
| coreymon77 | Daisuke_Laptop: whats the ubotu command to search the repos | 00:10 |
| coreymon77 | ? | 00:10 |
| joe_ | flipstar: what directory should I be in when I type it? | 00:11 |
| flipstar | joe_: that dir where you extracted amsn | 00:11 |
| joe_ | miladen: maybe try with a lower case d in Desktop | 00:11 |
| coreymon77 | joe_: no, linux is case sensitive | 00:11 |
| coreymon77 | !search amsn | 00:11 |
| ubotu | Found: | 00:12 |
| coreymon77 | !find amsn | 00:12 |

| joe_ | coreymon77: thats why I suggested it, mine shows desktop with a lowercase d | 00:12 |
| coreymon77 | thats it | 00:12 |
| miladen | prince_jammys no it errors | 00:12 |
| miladen | joe_ nope ;) | 00:12 |
| coreymon77 | joe_: try this | 00:12 |
| coreymon77 | joe_: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install amsn | 00:13 |

| joe_ | coreymon77: thats the ticket, thanx :D | 00:13 |
| joe_ | coreymon77: it says amsn is already the newest | 00:14 |
| coreymon77 | joe_: thats what i meant by isnt it on apt, unless you have a particular reason to compile, use apt | 00:14 |
| joe_ | but my amsn wont start grr | 00:14 |
| coreymon77 | joe_: well then apparently its installed | 00:14 |
| joe_ | ok I guess I need TkCximage | 00:14 |
| coreymon77 | joe_: huh? | 00:15 |
| coreymon77 | joe_: whats the problem with amsn | 00:15 |
| * coreymon77 uses mercury anyways, its better | 00:15 | |
| coreymon77 | a little slower due to being java based | 00:15 |
| coreymon77 | but i like it | 00:15 |
| flipstar | i prefer pidgin | 00:16 |
| coreymon77 | mercury is cross platform, i can use it on all 3 oses | 00:16 |
| joe_ | coreymon77: I get an error saying loading TkCximage failed. This module is needed to run aMSN. Please compile aMSN first, instructions on how to compile are located in INSATLL. | 00:16 |
| oloughlin75 | coreymon77: so is pidgin :) | 00:16 |
| coreymon77 | meh | 00:16 |
| coreymon77 | !info TkCximage | 00:16 |
| ubotu | Package tkcximage does not exist in gutsy | 00:16 |
| coreymon77 | okay then | 00:16 |
| joe_ | my aMSN was workin fine till I tried to update it | 00:17 |
| coreymon77 | joe_: tried? | 00:17 |
| coreymon77 | joe_: im assuming that meant everything didnt go as planned with the update | 00:17 |
| joe_ | yeah it said there was an update, so I clicked to visit the site, I took the latest version and now it wont start | 00:18 |
| coreymon77 | hmm | 00:18 |
| coreymon77 | odd | 00:18 |
| joe_ | :( | 00:18 |
| coreymon77 | with that error huh? | 00:18 |
| joe_ | yes sir | 00:18 |
| joe_ | once I got that error, I read the install file | 00:19 |
| coreymon77 | erm | 00:19 |
| joe_ | and it said I need to install tcl-dev and tk-dev packages, so i did | 00:19 |
| joe_ | then it says I need to configure. | 00:20 |
| joe_ | but cant seem to get it to do that | 00:20 |
| joe_ | I cant seem to change directory to amsn | 00:20 |
| coreymon77 | umm | 00:20 |
| coreymon77 | i take it you installed those with apt | 00:20 |
| joe_ | I used system package management | 00:21 |
| coreymon77 | you mean adept? | 00:21 |
| joe_ | uummm I dont know :( | 00:22 |
| joe_ | I went to system -> administration->system package management | 00:22 |
| joe_ | marked those two things for install and clicked update | 00:23 |
| coreymon77 | okay | 00:23 |
| coreymon77 | i think thats adept | 00:23 |
| joe_ | I am VERY new to linux | 00:23 |
| joe_ | like 1 week | 00:23 |
| joe_ | so trying to learn | 00:23 |
| joe_ | sorry :( | 00:23 |
| coreymon77 | joe_: welcome! | 00:23 |
| coreymon77 | joe_: no problem | 00:23 |
| joe_ | thanx | 00:23 |
| prince_jammys | joe_: the thing is you said that "it" said there was an update, and you had to visit a site | 00:23 |
| joe_ | I just got sick of bill and all his windows | 00:23 |
| coreymon77 | prince_jammys: amsn | 00:24 |
| flipstar | haha | 00:24 |
| coreymon77 | prince_jammys: and to visit amsns website for the update | 00:24 |
| prince_jammys | coreymon77: i see | 00:24 |
| coreymon77 | joe_: sorry youre having problems so early on, hope this doesnt turn you off of linux | 00:24 |
| prince_jammys | coreymon77: what form do those updates come in? | 00:24 |
| joe_ | my terminal says joe@joe-desktop:/home$ how do I get it to say /home/usr/share/amsn? | 00:24 |
| coreymon77 | prince_jammys: youre asking me, joes the one with the problem | 00:25 |
| coreymon77 | joe_: the cd command | 00:25 |
| coreymon77 | joe_: cd=change directory | 00:25 |
| joe_ | coreymon77: when I do "cd usr" it dont work | 00:25 |
| joe_ | am I missing osmeting? | 00:25 |
| flipstar | here cd /home/usr/share/amsn | 00:25 |
| coreymon77 | you need the slash | 00:25 |
| joe_ | ah shoot | 00:25 |
| * joe_ smacks his own head | 00:25 | |
| prince_jammys | joe_: cd /usr/share/blahblah unless you actually have a /home/usr | 00:25 |
| flipstar | was just an example i guess | 00:26 |
| joe_ | prince_jammys: thanx | 00:26 |
| coreymon77 | flipstar, prince_jammys i think it means /home/username/share | 00:26 |
| coreymon77 | flipstar: generic example | 00:26 |
| coreymon77 | but probably /usr/share/amsn is more correct | 00:26 |
| joe_ | yeah it should be | 00:27 |
| joe_ | but it wont let me into share | 00:27 |
| coreymon77 | joe_: youre gonna want the cd /usr/share/amsn command | 00:27 |
| oloughlin75 | joe_: what are you trying to accomplish? | 00:27 |
| prince_jammys | yes, good question | 00:27 |
| coreymon77 | oloughlin75: something messed up with an amsn update, and the readme for it says that he has to ./configure | 00:28 |
| coreymon77 | now that he has the two packages he needs from adept | 00:28 |
| oloughlin75 | coreymon77: i think you can configure when compiling from source | 00:28 |
| oloughlin75 | only* | 00:28 |
| flipstar | agreed | 00:29 |
| joe_ | do I need the . in front of the / ? | 00:29 |
| prince_jammys | joe_: yes | 00:29 |
| coreymon77 | joe_: try this, sudo apt-get install tcl-dev tk-dev | 00:29 |
| joe_ | k | 00:29 |
| coreymon77 | im not sure if you actually installed the packages | 00:30 |
| prince_jammys | yes, you should not have to be compiling the stuff yourself if it's in apt | 00:30 |
| joe_ | Package tcl-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 00:30 |
| joe_ | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 00:30 |
| joe_ | is only available from another source | 00:30 |
| joe_ | E: Package tcl-dev has no installation candidate | 00:30 |
| joe_ | man, I suck at linux | 00:31 |
| oloughlin75 | joe_: try "sudo apt-get -f install amsn" | 00:31 |
| joe_ | really sorry guys for not knowing a bit more | 00:31 |
| prince_jammys | joe_: don't worry | 00:31 |
| prince_jammys | be happy :) | 00:31 |
| oloughlin75 | lmao | 00:31 |
| prince_jammys | ha | 00:32 |
| joe_ | just dont want to frustrate the people who are trying to help | 00:32 |

| joe_ | amsn is already the newest version. | 00:32 |
| joe_ | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 00:32 |
| prince_jammys | joe_: if you're new to linux, it's too much for you to have to be compiling stuff | 00:32 |
| prince_jammys | you should be able to install this through apt | 00:32 |
| joe_ | gotta learn somehow though | 00:32 |
| bobby | hey all, does anyone know how i could go about printing a pdf document with 6 pages to a sheet? kpdf doesnt seem to be able to do that. | 00:32 |

| prince_jammys | like oloughlin75 is saying | 00:32 |
| joe_ | cant learn to swim without getting wet | 00:32 |
| coreymon77 | prince_jammys: it is on apt | 00:32 |
| coreymon77 | prince_jammys: and its installed on apt | 00:33 |
| coreymon77 | prince_jammys: it just messed up after an update | 00:33 |
| bobby | im using kubuntu 7.10 | 00:33 |
| joe_ | how do you uninstall with linux? maybe I will just uninstall amsn and start fresh with "apt" | 00:33 |
| coreymon77 | joe_: normally you dont have to compile stuff, apt is pretty comprehensive | 00:33 |
| oloughlin75 | joe_: lets try "sudo apt-get install amsn --reinstall" | 00:33 |
| coreymon77 | joe_: that was my next suggestion | 00:33 |
| joe_ | wooohoo, I thought of something you did :D | 00:34 |

| coreymon77 | oloughlin75: i was going to suggest an uninstall+purge, but thats a better first step | 00:34 |
| prince_jammys | you can stick the --reinstall after the name of the package? | 00:34 |
| flipstar | bobby: kpdf can print..just select it from menu or press ctrl + p .. | 00:34 |
| oloughlin75 | loguser1: you must have xorg | 00:34 |

| loguser1_ | i have a mouse moving. a console .wallpaper. i can run gui apps by typing ther name in console like amasn. despite i uninstalled xorg.. why ? | 00:37 |
| prince_jammys | now what you did is use APT (which by the way is what you accept when you use "adept" and also "synaptic" and "aptitude") | 00:37 |
| prince_jammys | accept=do | 00:37 |
| prince_jammys | i have no idea why i typed accept | 00:37 |
| coreymon77 | prince_jammys: neither | 00:37 |

| flipstar | loguser1_: did you restarted after uninstalling xorg ? | 00:38 |
| prince_jammys | its all the apt accept adopt adapt | 00:38 |
| loguser1_ | flipstar: coreymon77 i uninstalled that from console | 00:38 |
| coreymon77 | loguser1_: apparently not, since you still have a gui | 00:38 |
| loguser1_ | flipstar: coreymon77 but i dont see any taskbar or kmenu. | 00:38 |
| oloughlin75 | loguser1what did you do to "uninstall" xorg? | 00:39 |
| flipstar | so you can run gui's from a console ? without X ? | 00:39 |
| coreymon77 | flipstar: no he cant | 00:39 |

| oloughlin75 | loguser1_: they dont do the same thing! you need xorg to display stuff and kde is a desktop environment | 00:44 |
| oloughlin75 | loguser1_: you didnt remove xserver, you removed one file, and apparently it isnt -needed- | 00:45 |
| prince_jammys | i'm a bit confused. is your X broken? | 00:45 |
| oloughlin75 | prince_jammys: it was and he removed xorg | 00:46 |
| loguser1_ | oloughlin75: so what do i need to reinstall all. except kde. that seems working fine to me | 00:46 |
| loguser1_ | prince_jammys: yes i gues | 00:46 |
| coreymon77 | prince_jammys: no, he purposely remove xorg | 00:46 |
| loguser1_ | coreymon77: ya | 00:46 |
| oloughlin75 | coreymon77: because he couldnt log in using GUI | 00:46 |
| oloughlin75 | so im assuming kdm wasnt loading | 00:46 |

| root----- | what the heck is going on.. this is loguser1........ i had a problem with x. i though it was kde. but it wasnt. i couldn solve it. i uninstalled xorg. stil could use restricted gui. with no kde. then i removed xorg*. kdm damon stoped. i went to console only. typed 'startx' . now iam using full gui. and kde. whats going on................ | 00:54 |
| nosrednaekim | :) | 00:54 |
| nosrednaekim | root----- » xorg is just a meat package.. it didn't remove anything | 00:54 |
| nosrednaekim | *meta | 00:54 |
| root----- | nosrednaekim ic.. so what is it for. and whats the read package? | 00:54 |
| Arwen | it's there to help upgrades | 00:55 |
| Arwen | the real on is xserver-xorg iirc | 00:55 |
| root----- | xserver-xorg . i didnt had that when i tried to remove it | 00:55 |
| === BlahBalh is now known as Eeyore-Jr | ||
| root----- | can some one explain. whats the backbon. the working of gui | 00:56 |
| nosrednaekim | root----- » so whats the problem exactly? | 00:57 |
| root----- | nosrednaekim just wana understand | 00:57 |
| Arwen | Let's see... it works something like this -> GRUB boots Linux. Linux runs init which usually spawns a bunch of consoles. You run X in one of these consoles. X starts KDE. You have fun. | 00:57 |
| root----- | nosrednaekim and btw, i have no xorg atm. still runing kde. how why? | 00:57 |
| nosrednaekim | root----- » you do have X if you are running kde | 00:58 |
| prince_jammys | that sir, is not possible | 00:58 |
| Arwen | prince_jammys, he could be using the Y Window System :-P | 00:58 |
| root----- | nosrednaekim i dont have xorg .. can i still run kde? | 00:58 |
| prince_jammys | Arwen: was waiting for that :) | 00:58 |
| flipstar | <nosrednaekim> root----- » xorg is just a meta package.. it didn't remove anything | 00:59 |
| nosrednaekim | root----- » you DO have X... | 00:59 |
| nosrednaekim | xorg | 00:59 |
| root----- | flipstar nosrednaekim ah ic. what x do i have? | 00:59 |
| root----- | whats a meta package | 00:59 |
| flipstar | X like X in Xorg | 00:59 |
| Arwen | a metapackage is a backage that doesn't do anything by itself | 00:59 |
| flipstar | a package with metainformations in it | 00:59 |
| Arwen | it just forces apt to download other ones | 00:59 |
| nosrednaekim | root----- » a meta package just install a whole bunch of other packages | 01:00 |
| root----- | ic | 01:00 |
| root----- | xorg installs and maintains X ? | 01:00 |
| root----- | correct? | 01:00 |
| Arwen | installs, yes | 01:00 |
| flipstar | so its like a box.. | 01:00 |
| Arwen | dunno about maintaining | 01:00 |
| nosrednaekim | root----- » yes | 01:00 |

| root----- | yes | 01:04 |
| root----- | i see less apps too | 01:04 |
| root----- | in the kmenu | 01:04 |
| prince_jammys | thats normal | 01:04 |

| root----- | prince_jammys i dont know. my destop working is quite faster now.. why so? | 01:06 |
| nosrednaekim | jeffy124 » no room, and it uses GTK | 01:06 |
| prince_jammys | so unless you see symptoms that stuff is broken ,i suggest you leave it alone | 01:06 |
| root----- | ok | 01:06 |
| prince_jammys | you're gonna have to put the stuff back in the menu | 01:06 |
| root----- | hm | 01:06 |
| root----- | prince_jammys but all my games are stil there | 01:06 |
| root----- | ooonly few have been missing | 01:07 |
| prince_jammys | the menus can be a pain in the rear, yes | 01:07 |
| prince_jammys | but reinstalling x would not solve this anyway | 01:07 |
| root----- | prince_jammys oh sh*t . i dont have konqueror instaled | 01:07 |
| prince_jammys | not in the menu or just not installed? | 01:08 |

| root------ | prince_jammys how should i overwrite my home directory then? if i have the files? | 02:13 |
| prince_jammys | root------: you can just do it in the windows - extract first, and drag them in | 02:14 |
| === nzk_ is now known as nzk | ||
| prince_jammys | root------: make sure you "show hidden files" in konqueror | 02:14 |

| prince_jammys | root------: did you extract the folder? | 02:16 |
| unagi | does anyone know how to play dvd .iso in kubuntu? | 02:16 |
| root------ | prince_jammys no just opened it | 02:16 |
| prince_jammys | root------: well, you could do this from a root account, which you probably don't have. or you could do it from command line before logging in | 02:17 |
| prince_jammys | root------: or you could try it while logged in as your current user | 02:18 |
| root------ | prince_jammys i dont have much diskspace now | 02:18 |
| root------ | to extract it | 02:18 |
| BluesKaj | Riskbreaker, ati 8.02 driver ?...kinda old | 02:18 |
| prince_jammys | root------: isn't it only your settings? | 02:18 |
| Riskbreaker | February 2008 | 02:18 |
| lascar | what's a good Publisher clone? | 02:18 |
| Riskbreaker | = 08.02 | 02:19 |
| root------ | prince_jammys yes. | 02:19 |
| BluesKaj | Riskbreaker, proprietary driver from the ATI site ? | 02:19 |
| prince_jammys | root------: then only extract your settings into a temporary folder | 02:19 |
| root------ | prince_jammys i dont have much diskspace now | 02:19 |
| Riskbreaker | yes it's the newest one | 02:19 |
| root------ | its a 5g file | 02:19 |
| unagi | !dvd | 02:20 |
| ubotu | For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 02:20 |
| prince_jammys | root------: there's more than settings there, then | 02:20 |
| root------ | prince_jammys just settings | 02:20 |
| lascar | !publisher | 02:20 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about publisher - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 02:20 |
| prince_jammys | root------: 5 gigs of settings? | 02:20 |
| BluesKaj | Riskbreaker, did you try the restricted ati driver in system settings/advanced ? | 02:20 |
| prince_jammys | root------: really, why don't you just reset the stuff the way you had it? | 02:21 |
| lascar | (why on earth would kde 3.5.9 not be properly supported?) | 02:21 |
| root------ | ok | 02:21 |
| Riskbreaker | that is several months old, doesn't support aiglx, etc | 02:22 |
| BluesKaj | lascar, I'm using kde 3.5.9....ok so far , after 4 hrs or so :) | 02:22 |
| Riskbreaker | in other words, switching to that means i might as well use the non-3d driver | 02:22 |
| lascar | blueskaj: 4 hours? | 02:23 |
| matt____1 | Hello everyone. I've written a tutorial on ripping a DVD to and iPod. I want it to be as easy as possible, so if you would be interested in going over this with me and telling me if you have ran into anything that isn't right or could use improvement, please take a look at this: http://linuxhack3r.com/ipod.html Suggestions can go the email at the bottom of the | 02:23 |
| matt____1 | page, or ou can personally email me an d we can AIM or something to really discuss it. Just remember this, I'm trying to make this easy even for "noobs". | 02:23 |
| matt____1 | http://linuxhack3r.com/ipod.html | 02:23 |
| BluesKaj | Riskbreaker, with a couple of edits to the xorg.config file the restricted driver will do DRI and 3D | 02:23 |
| Riskbreaker | but not, under any circumstances, aiglx. | 02:24 |
| oloughlin75 | matt____1: why not use linux native programs? | 02:24 |
| root------ | prince_jammys what is the command to extract a bzip2 file to a specified locations? | 02:24 |
| bobby | matt___1: the page looks like a mess! haha | 02:25 |
| BluesKaj | Riskbreaker, check this :http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/10/23/1913239 | 02:25 |
| BluesKaj | yeah lascar , I just installed kde 3.5.9 | 02:26 |
| biovore | matt____1: you can do that all with one line on the CLI using mencoder to encoder with ffmepg to make a mpeg4 video file. | 02:26 |
| lascar | blueskaj: why did it take 4 hours? | 02:26 |
| Riskbreaker | BluesKaj: that is the driver that was released in october, version 8.42. ATI does monthly driver releases; startnig the next month, they switched to a year-month version numbering scheme. | 02:26 |
| Riskbreaker | 8.02 is the newest restricted driver, it does aiglx and runs beautifully, the only problem i'm having is i can't end an X session | 02:27 |
| BluesKaj | lascar, I've been using it for 4 hrs , so far so good | 02:27 |
| lascar | oh ok | 02:27 |
| BluesKaj | Riskbreaker, i don't pay much attn cuz I don't use aiglx ...not a compiz-fusion user | 02:28 |
| matt____1 | bobby: i know that... | 02:28 |
| Riskbreaker | that's okay | 02:28 |
| matt____1 | biovore: really.... | 02:28 |
| matt____1 | oloughlin75: i've tried...i like "dvdbackup", but it doesn't get newer disks | 02:28 |
| BluesKaj | Riskbreaker, but I do like my google earth and it needs DRI and 3D | 02:29 |
| matt____1 | biovore: how would you do such a thing? would it even rip the dvd first? | 02:30 |
| biovore | matt____1: nope.. | 02:30 |
| matt____1 | biovore: so you would still need to rip it using shrink or such wouldn't you? | 02:31 |
| unagi | can kubuntu not play friggen dvd .iso? | 02:31 |
| biovore | matt____1: 1 sec.. I'll figure out what the exact command line.. no need to rip.. | 02:31 |
| biovore | If mplayer can play it.. you can transcode it.. | 02:31 |
| BluesKaj | Riskbreaker, you realize it may not be the graphics driver that's causing the hangup , it could be the monitor driver if you're using a desktop setup. | 02:32 |
| biovore | mencoder dvd://10 -vf lavcdeint -ovc x264 -ofps 30000/1001 -oac copy -o filename.avi | 02:33 |
| biovore | that does x264 | 02:33 |
| Riskbreaker | i am on a laptop | 02:34 |
| unagi | is there a way to make kubuntu recognize a mount point as a dvd drive | 02:34 |
| biovore | dvd chapter 10 to filename.avi | 02:34 |
| Riskbreaker | it's fglrx though. if i switch back to a regular open source driver it doesn't hang | 02:34 |
| BluesKaj | Riskbreaker, ok...another ATI bug to deal with :P | 02:34 |
| biovore | use -ovc lavc for mpeg4 from ffmpeg | 02:35 |
| Riskbreaker | what a shocker! | 02:35 |
| biovore | use -ovc help for list of codecs.. | 02:35 |
| matt____1 | biovore: but...i'm confused..slightly... | 02:36 |
| root----- | media/sda4Backup$ bzip2 -d klast.000 | 02:36 |
| root----- | bzip2: Can't guess original name for klast.000 -- using klast.000.out | 02:36 |
| matt____1 | so can i take the command...and simply "convert" the dvd to a mp4 playable on my ipod? | 02:36 |
| biovore | matt____1: I think so.. I do x264 for my cowon a2 | 02:38 |
| biovore | I beleve ipod need mpeg4 | 02:38 |
| matt____1 | biovore: mencoder...so is there a really good wiki for this? yeah it needs mp4, so can it specify resolution and such? | 02:39 |
| biovore | there are also other options.. like you might need to resize the frames to the size of the screen.. | 02:39 |
| biovore | yeah you can using -vf | 02:39 |
| biovore | -vf scale=x:y I think | 02:39 |
| biovore | also can do post processing filtering and such | 02:39 |
| biovore | man mencoder | 02:39 |
| biovore | There are some howtos on line | 02:40 |
| matt____1 | biovore: i'll definantly take a look at that...so it sounds like this may be the easy way... | 02:40 |
| draik | What is a good way of testing the FTP access to the server I'm trying to setup? | 02:40 |
| biovore | matt____1: it works from any thing that playable in mplayer can be encoding using that method.. no just dvd's ... streaming video for instance :-P | 02:41 |
| draik | I want to make sure that it cannot be forced access entry. | 02:41 |
| biovore | its ftp.. just snifft and you have access :-P | 02:41 |
| biovore | draik: just try connecting to it.. konqueror works well on ftp | 02:42 |
| matt____1 | biovore: so it sounds awesome...i'll try it...but i like the idea of handbrake. perhaps i'll just do a sudo mv /usr/bin/mencoder /usr/bin/handbrake ;) | 02:42 |
| draik | biovore: I want to make sure it cannot be brute forced. | 02:42 |
| intelikey | No manual entry for avidemux | 02:42 |
| biovore | its ftp.. it allways can be brute forced.. | 02:43 |
| BluesKaj | intelikey, k9copy ? | 02:43 |
| biovore | unless you have some kind of firewall to limit access to the ftp | 02:43 |
| biovore | ssh/sftp is a better bet | 02:43 |
| draik | biovore: Put it this way. I want to brute force into it, but first I want to know how strong of a wall I can setup before I test it. | 02:43 |
| icanhasadmin | wpa-psk can be brute forced too, if you can live 15 billion years. | 02:43 |
| intelikey | BluesKaj ? | 02:44 |
| biovore | draik: the main problem with FTP is the fact nothing is encryped.. when you send your login info to the server for authentication.. anyone listening can see them in plan text.. | 02:44 |
| biovore | if you want secure.. its highly not recommened | 02:45 |
| intelikey | BluesKaj just trying to copy the .vob files from a dvd to hd was told to try avidemux but now i see that it's some sort of gui Kr-app | 02:45 |
| draik | biovore: Hmmm. Interesting. Essentially I can test out the access for the username and password for the admin account easily? | 02:45 |
| draik | I want to make sure this doesn't happen. | 02:45 |
| BluesKaj | intelikey, for copying the conrent files off a dvd , k9copy is prolly the one to use. | 02:45 |
| biovore | draik: I think root user is disabled for FTP login.. (or should be) | 02:45 |
| intelikey | BluesKaj k9copy is more gui kr-app i don't have gui | 02:46 |
| intelikey | i don't want gui | 02:46 |
| biovore | mencoder | 02:46 |
| icanhasadmin | i'm now going to screw with my DSDT. wish me luck. | 02:46 |
| tckb | hi kubuntu | 02:46 |
| Arwen | intelikey, AviSynth + VMWare :-P | 02:46 |
| tckb | i have a prob,em | 02:46 |
| Arwen | it's the complete opposite of GUI :-) | 02:47 |
| draik | biovore: Sorry, I think of my login as admin/root. How can I test the FTP access with a brute force? | 02:47 |
| tckb | i dont see the splash screen while booting | 02:47 |
| BluesKaj | intelikey, suddenly you're a CLI purist, what gives? | 02:47 |
| biovore | intelikey: transcode.. all command line :-) | 02:47 |
| biovore | and mencoder | 02:47 |
| biovore | does everything.. | 02:47 |
| tckb | help me!!! | 02:47 |
| ForgeAus | ok what is PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ ' actually doing? I mean how do I mod it to be username instead of username@computername (I think thats what its doing) | 02:47 |
| biovore | tckb: nvidia gforce 8? | 02:47 |
| intelikey | Arwen and this will help me copy the .mov files from the dvd ? | 02:47 |
| tckb | nope | 02:47 |
| Arwen | intelikey, with a lot of effort, yes :-P | 02:48 |
| Arwen | AviSynth = programming language for video | 02:48 |
| tckb | i dont have any graphic accelarator | 02:48 |
| ForgeAus | in .bashrc | 02:48 |
| biovore | tckb: how you getting video then? | 02:48 |
| intelikey | Arwen looking. | 02:48 |
| === zakame__ is now known as zakame | ||
| Arwen | biovore, with a software framebuffer maybe? | 02:48 |
| Arwen | intelikey, hint: it runs on Windows. | 02:48 |
| biovore | has to have some video card in the thing.. | 02:49 |
| intelikey | i understand | 02:49 |
| tckb | i meant i have no external ... my board is intel 845 GVSR | 02:49 |
| Arwen | biovore, doesn't necessarily have to be accelerated :-P | 02:49 |
| biovore | ah ok | 02:49 |
| tckb | it has onboard Graphic Acc/ | 02:49 |
| BluesKaj | !cdrecord | intelikey | 02:49 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cdrecord - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 02:49 |
| biovore | you try disabling the start up graphics in grub ? | 02:49 |
| tckb | no | 02:49 |
| tckb | i didnt.... | 02:50 |
| BluesKaj | anyway intelikey , man cderecord | 02:50 |
| biovore | tckb: when it boots... hit esc to get into the grub menu.. | 02:50 |
| tckb | hmm | 02:50 |
| tckb | then | 02:50 |
| biovore | tckb: press e | 02:50 |
| tckb | okie. | 02:50 |
| BluesKaj | er cdrecord | 02:50 |
| tckb | after that.... | 02:50 |
| biovore | tckb: delete the splash and quite entries.. then press enter. then b | 02:50 |
| biovore | see if it boots | 02:50 |
| biovore | (splash and quite are on the end of the kernel line) | 02:51 |
| tckb | yess it is booting ... infact i actually did it | 02:51 |
| biovore | so it looks like the kernel framebuffer dosn't like your card... same probablem with some nvidia gforce 8 series | 02:51 |
| tckb | :) | 02:51 |
| tckb | so what to do ? | 02:52 |
| Arwen | analog hole for drmed text is... digitizing the words? | 02:52 |
| tckb | isnt there any way to see | 02:52 |
| biovore | Arwen: screen capture and OCR :-P | 02:53 |
| Arwen | heh | 02:53 |
| biovore | tckb: after pressing enter.. did a bunch of text go by? | 02:53 |

| toyo|desk | I need to find out if this usb chipset that I am looking at buying will work in kubuntu | 03:00 |

| mike18 | oloughlin75: how do i enable restricted repos and which one? | 03:03 |
| Arwen | mplayer -dvd-device file.iso dvdmenu:// | 03:03 |
| Arwen | although that probably won't work very well if at all | 03:03 |
| bobby | its too bad kpdf cant print 6 pages to a single sheet! | 03:03 |
| * toyo|desk uses the mplayer gui | 03:03 | |
| toyo|desk | :D | 03:03 |
| oloughlin75 | mike18: open adept and click adept -> manage repositories. Restricted is one of the ones listed | 03:04 |
| mike18 | adept is what i used earlier to do the nvidia-glx-new and it didnt work | 03:04 |
| mike18 | k | 03:04 |
| toyo|desk | gmplayer is what I use | 03:04 |
| toyo|desk | :D | 03:04 |
| unagi | heh | 03:04 |
| unagi | it didnt play | 03:04 |
| Arwen | heh, MPlayer needs a special version of libdvdnav to be compiled in | 03:05 |
| Arwen | and it usually doesn't work | 03:05 |
| icanhasadmin | Hey, I"m getting a permission denied error while trying to write my dsdt to a file with cat.. any ideas? | 03:05 |
| unagi | i did sudo mplayer -dvd-device MONSTERS__INC_.ISO but it didnt work =( | 03:05 |
| unagi | displayed a bunch of options and goes back to $ | 03:05 |
| oloughlin75 | icanhasadmin: sudo ,,, | 03:05 |
| icanhasadmin | I used "sudo cat /proc/acpi/dsdt > DSDT.dat" | 03:05 |
| icanhasadmin | :P | 03:05 |
| unagi | Arwen: any ideas? | 03:06 |
| Arwen | unagi, mplayer -dvd-device blah.iso dvd://1 | 03:06 |
| Arwen | you forgot the urkl | 03:06 |
| toyo|desk | unagi, why are you using sudo | 03:06 |
| nosrednaekim | intelikey » yeah... you have to actually BE root in order to write there | 03:06 |
| Arwen | url* | 03:06 |
| Arwen | and yeah, NO SUDO | 03:06 |
| nosrednaekim | icanhasadmin » ^^ | 03:06 |
| unagi | to see if that was why it didnt work | 03:06 |
| nosrednaekim | intelikey » many pardons for using your nick in vain | 03:06 |

| * toyo|desk sits back and waits for unagi's pc to burst into flames | 03:07 | |
| nosrednaekim | icanhasadmin » yeah... you have to enable the root user and do it from there | 03:07 |
| toyo|desk | icanhasadmin, is your name unagi? | 03:07 |
| icanhasadmin | unagi = yummy yummy yummy. I'm going to open an unagi stand in america | 03:07 |
| toyo|desk | haha | 03:07 |
| Arwen | doesn't unagi mean "the same"? | 03:07 |
| Arwen | anyway... | 03:08 |
| icanhasadmin | can you describe "enable root user" to a nubcake like me? | 03:08 |
| toyo|desk | sudo su | 03:08 |
| icanhasadmin | unagi... is eel? | 03:08 |
| toyo|desk | that should do the trick | 03:08 |
| unagi | no controls with mpalyer? | 03:08 |

| icanhasadmin | ty | 03:08 |
| nosrednaekim | icanhasadmin » yeah.... you use sudo... which temorarily gives you admin priveledges.. but not the provieldge to write to /proc | 03:08 |
| Arwen | you probably don't *need* to do that though | 03:08 |
| unagi | wow | 03:08 |
| unagi | mplayer wont play full screen? | 03:08 |
| Arwen | you can't write to /proc with sudo? | 03:08 |
| nosrednaekim | Arwen » no no.... just sudo passwd | 03:08 |
| Arwen | unagi, -fs? | 03:08 |
| nosrednaekim | Arwen » nope | 03:08 |
| toyo|desk | nosrednaekim, sudo su should suffice to write to proc | 03:09 |
| Arwen | nosrednaekim, what about sudo -i? | 03:09 |
| nosrednaekim | Arwen » no.. thats just sudo.... but toyo|desk may be right.. | 03:09 |
| mike18 | oloughlin75: i'm in manage repositories where do i see restricted as one listed | 03:09 |
| toyo|desk | then when done type exit | 03:09 |

| nosrednaekim | mike18 » and the package "nvidia-glx-new" isn't in your lists? | 03:10 |
| mike18 | so before i installed the nvidia-glx-new and it didn't work | 03:10 |
| mike18 | it is | 03:10 |
| oloughlin75 | unagi: mount | 03:10 |
| nosrednaekim | unagi » what does that do? | 03:10 |
| mike18 | u said flx a min ago | 03:10 |
| mike18 | why don't i want to do apt-get | 03:11 |
| unagi | it mounts an .iso to a virtual dvd | 03:11 |
| tckb | biovore: yess it did | 03:11 |
| nosrednaekim | mike18 » did you try using the restricted-manager? | 03:11 |
| mike18 | cause i just went down this route | 03:11 |
| unagi | meaning windows sees it as a dvd | 03:11 |
| prince_jammys | !nvidia | mike18 | 03:11 |
| ubotu | mike18: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 03:11 |
| nosrednaekim | unagi » ah.. yes there is | 03:11 |
| mike18 | i dunno how to use restricted manager | 03:11 |
| unagi | what is it? | 03:11 |
| mike18 | prince_jammys thank i already tried that | 03:11 |
| mike18 | if you would read what i'm saying | 03:11 |
| nosrednaekim | mike18 » run "kdesudo restricted-manager-kde" | 03:11 |
| oloughlin75 | mike18: open up console then do "sudo apt-get update" | 03:11 |
| unagi | nosrednaekim: do you know the name of it? | 03:11 |
| tckb | biovore u there | 03:11 |
| nosrednaekim | unagi » ah....nope :) | 03:12 |
| intelikey | Arwen toyo|desk and nosrednaekim sudo does not change the ownership of the fd (stdout) so using sudo to redirrect output does not produce a root owned write i.e. sudo echo boo > /testing will fail. use a root owned process like tee sudo echo boo | tee -a /testing will write both to the userowned stdout and to the root owned process of writing /testing ffr. | 03:12 |
| unagi | you would think thered be an easy way to mount dvd movie .isos with linux | 03:12 |
| Arwen | ok... brain overload | 03:12 |
| nosrednaekim | intelikey » gracias.... your name was not in vain :) | 03:12 |
| mike18 | nosrednaekim: that command didnt work | 03:12 |
| Arwen | unagi, mount -o loopback file.iso mountpoint -t iso9660 ? | 03:12 |
| nosrednaekim | mike18 » are you using gutsy? | 03:12 |
| Arwen | !iso | 03:12 |
| ubotu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 03:12 |
| mike18 | kdesudo not found | 03:12 |
| mike18 | 7.04 feisty | 03:12 |
| unagi | that doesnt work Arwen i wish it did | 03:13 |
| mike18 | i'm trying to run linuxmce on this machine they say not to update the OS | 03:13 |
| intelikey | sorry misplaced sudo in the second example. echo boo | sudo tee -a /blah | 03:13 |
| nosrednaekim | mike18 » ah! ok, then run "sudo apt-get install restricted-manager" and then "kdesu restricted-manager" | 03:13 |
| mike18 | but i just need the video driver | 03:13 |
| nosrednaekim | mike18 » this is the easiest way to doit | 03:13 |
| intelikey | but you understand both how and why now ^ | 03:13 |
| Arwen | unagi, o.O | 03:13 |
| mike18 | could not lock | 03:13 |
| nosrednaekim | mike18 » cloes adept | 03:14 |
| icanhasadmin | everytime you say his name i get hungry | 03:14 |
| tckb | hello??? | 03:14 |
| prince_jammys | close the other | 03:14 |
| oloughlin75 | !adeptfix | mike18 | 03:14 |
| ubotu | mike18: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 03:14 |
| mike18 | ah haa | 03:14 |
| toyo|desk | intelikey, yeah when I need to do things like that I become root with sudo su do my job and get out | 03:14 |
| unagi | Arwen: im intrigued that many of m y problems with kubuntu, seem simple to me, yet are hard to communicate to the community | 03:14 |
| unagi | Arwen: lemme try it this way | 03:14 |
| oloughlin75 | unagi: are you the one who wants to mount an iso? | 03:14 |
| mike18 | ok nosrednaekim: it tells me "Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers" | 03:14 |
| nosrednaekim | mike18 » ha. | 03:15 |
| mike18 | this is such a bitch | 03:15 |
| nosrednaekim | mike18 » you sure you have an nvidia? | 03:15 |
| intelikey | toyo|desk you can use as many processes as you like. but sudo su is redundant. sudo -i is what you want. or at least use sudo su - | 03:15 |
| unagi | oloughlin75: for sake of clarification i can mount an iso...........i would like linux to see it as a dvd | 03:15 |
| mike18 | everyone tells me scrwe ATI nvidia is way to go | 03:15 |
| mike18 | yes | 03:15 |
| nosrednaekim | mike18 » how old? | 03:15 |
| mike18 | GT 7600 device id 0x0391 | 03:15 |
| mike18 | brand new | 03:15 |
| mike18 | got in mail today | 03:15 |
| nosrednaekim | huh,...... | 03:15 |
| oloughlin75 | mike18: what graphics card does your computer have? | 03:15 |
| toyo|desk | intelikey true sudo su - is more appropriate | 03:15 |
| mike18 | ati onboard | 03:15 |
| mike18 | but not using | 03:16 |
| unagi | Arwen: i would like to mount a dvd movie .iso so that linux sees it as a dvd movie to which i can have kaffiene or something open the disk as if i had it in the dvd drive | 03:16 |
| intelikey | toyo|desk and equal to sudo -i | 03:16 |
| nosrednaekim | mike18 » did you disaable that in your bios? | 03:16 |
| mike18 | nvidia PCI card | 03:16 |
| mike18 | no | 03:16 |
| mike18 | i will | 03:16 |
| nosrednaekim | mike18 » ah.... do that | 03:16 |
| mike18 | k then what | 03:16 |
| Arwen | unagi, if you mount it, you can open the mount point as though it were the DVD | 03:16 |
| mike18 | i'll still prob have same problems | 03:16 |
| Arwen | or you can play the ISO | 03:16 |
| mike18 | u recommend tryign restricted-manager again or just do adept method | 03:16 |
| mike18 | or apt-get | 03:16 |
| nosrednaekim | mike18 » ten try reinstalling the nvidia drivers.....last timeit was probably looking in the wrong place for the graphics card | 03:17 |
| toyo|desk | intelikey, never seen sudo -i before | 03:17 |
| toyo|desk | hehe | 03:17 |
| oloughlin75 | Arwen: you can play iso's directly? | 03:17 |
| toyo|desk | good to know | 03:17 |
| unagi | Arwen: it doesnt show up in storage media, nor can i seleect it as a device in media players, therefore they wont play it as if it is a dvd | 03:17 |
| nosrednaekim | mike18 » restricted manager if it tells you there is an nvidia card | 03:17 |
| Arwen | sudo -i = bash with root's profile | 03:17 |
| icanhasadmin | So wait, how is sudo su different from sudo -i? | 03:17 |
| toyo|desk | I see | 03:17 |
| Arwen | oloughlin75, mplayer can | 03:17 |
| toyo|desk | I just tried it | 03:17 |
| oloughlin75 | Arwen: cool | 03:17 |
| Arwen | unagi, ah.. hehe | 03:17 |
| unagi | Arwen: how about graphically | 03:17 |
| toyo|desk | I always just did sudo su | 03:17 |
| Arwen | unagi, write a script :-) | 03:17 |
| intelikey | toyo|desk that's what man pages are for (real men use man pages!) | 03:17 |
| oloughlin75 | unagi: locate the mount point | 03:17 |
| Arwen | SMPlayer works too | 03:17 |
| unagi | oloughlin75: what will that do | 03:17 |
| unagi | oloughlin75: meaning i know where i mounted it, i want it to be seen as a dvd not a folder | 03:17 |
| mike18 | nosrednaekim: u think in my bios "internal graphics mode" is it? | 03:18 |
| mike18 | i dont see anything about onboard video other than that | 03:18 |
| nosrednaekim | mike18 » its possible | 03:18 |
| oloughlin75 | unagi: select the folder | 03:18 |
| unagi | ? | 03:18 |
| mike18 | init display first was set to PCI slot | 03:18 |
| unagi | am i really not being clear? | 03:18 |
| nosrednaekim | mike18 » hrm... | 03:18 |
| toyo|desk | hmm well I am getting nowhere fast with this usb chipset | 03:18 |
| toyo|desk | maybe I should just buy it and hope for the best | 03:18 |
| toyo|desk | :D | 03:18 |
| nosrednaekim | and expect the worst | 03:19 |
| mike18 | well booting back to kubuntu now | 03:19 |
| mike18 | give it a shot | 03:19 |
| oloughlin75 | unagi: if mplayer plays iso's directly, why bother mounting? I understand what you are doing, but iv never actually -done- it ;) | 03:19 |
| mike18 | i cant believe how much trouble i'm having getting video drivers to work | 03:19 |
| mike18 | what a bitch | 03:19 |
| toyo|desk | mike18, what card | 03:19 |
| oloughlin75 | mike18: restricted drivers should *just work* | 03:19 |
| mike18 | EVGA | 03:19 |
| toyo|desk | erm chipset | 03:19 |
| nosrednaekim | my brother has the same card.... | 03:19 |
| mike18 | nvidia geforce 7600 gt | 03:19 |
| toyo|desk | oh | 03:19 |
| unagi | oloughlin75: all i want is a graphical video player to play my .iso with media controls and menus | 03:19 |
| intelikey | anagi "i know where i mounted it, i want it to be seen as a dvd not a folder" anything mounted is seen as a folder or should i say EVERYTHING mounted is always seen as a folder. | 03:19 |
| nosrednaekim | mike18 » did you have the ati drivers installed previously? | 03:19 |
| toyo|desk | never owned nvidia | 03:20 |
| mike18 | newegg had it higly rated | 03:20 |
| mike18 | yes i did have ati drivers installed previously | 03:20 |
| nosrednaekim | mike18 » yeah.. its a nice one | 03:20 |
| oloughlin75 | unagi: so poen mplayer? | 03:20 |
| nosrednaekim | mike18 » did you uninstall them? | 03:20 |
| mike18 | i used envy to install them and then envy to uninstall | 03:20 |
| nosrednaekim | envy! nooooooo! | 03:20 |
| mike18 | yeah yeah | 03:20 |
| mike18 | i heard it all before | 03:20 |
| mike18 | too late | 03:20 |
| nosrednaekim | mmmhm | 03:20 |
| nosrednaekim | it may be | 03:20 |
| mike18 | ppl recommended it for ATI | 03:20 |
| === draik_ is now known as draik | ||
| mike18 | maybe i'll just reinstall Kubuntu on this partition | 03:21 |
| mike18 | shits pissing me off | 03:21 |
| mike18 | proby would be faster that way | 03:21 |
| toyo|desk | lol | 03:21 |
| mike18 | except the linuxmce install took forever | 03:21 |
| oloughlin75 | unagi: open mplayer and open the iso | 03:21 |
| nosrednaekim | ^_^ | 03:21 |
| unagi | oloughlin75: mplayer doesnt have menu support | 03:21 |
| oloughlin75 | unagi: right click? | 03:21 |
| oloughlin75 | oo | 03:21 |
| unagi | ? | 03:21 |
| toyo|desk | why can you not install the nvidia drivers eg what error is it saying | 03:21 |
| unagi | seriously am i being vague | 03:21 |
| mike18 | so nosrednaekim: is there anything i can do to make sure the ati drivers are uninstalled? | 03:21 |
| oloughlin75 | unagi: you mean menu on the dvd or in the program? | 03:22 |
| unagi | dvd | 03:22 |
| nosrednaekim | mike18 » not really if you installed them with envy | 03:22 |
| mike18 | in my xorg.conf under Device section the driver is listed as "nv" | 03:22 |
| oloughlin75 | unagi: ill try it | 03:22 |
| mike18 | bah | 03:22 |
| unagi | sure mplayer is playing my dvd...........but a. i cant get to the extra features and b. i cant even start the movie | 03:22 |
| toyo|desk | heh what happens when you manually change it to nvidia mike18 | 03:22 |
| unagi | and i get a gnome_screensaver_control() error | 03:22 |
| vanchuck | kde is kicking me back out to the kubuntu login screen after I login-- it's getting to initializing system services then black screen, then login screen. This is a fresh install, except rebooting after apt-get upgrade | 03:22 |
| vanchuck | any ideas? | 03:22 |
| nosrednaekim | vanchuck » did you copy over a previous home partition? | 03:23 |
| mike18 | i did that then i got black screen w/ cursor | 03:23 |
| mike18 | went looked at log | 03:23 |
| nosrednaekim | vanchuck » or home folder | 03:23 |
| vanchuck | nosrednaekim: it was a previously-used partition, but no existing files in the home dir | 03:23 |
| vanchuck | just a single backup dir | 03:24 |
| mike18 | said failed to load NVIDIA kernel module! | 03:24 |
| mike18 | so i changed back to "nv" and here i am | 03:24 |

| mike18 | did sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx-new | 03:24 |
| toyo|desk | mike18, open a command line and try sudo modprobe nvidia | 03:24 |
| mike18 | is actually where i am now | 03:24 |
| toyo|desk | see what happens | 03:24 |
| toyo|desk | oh | 03:24 |
| toyo|desk | ok | 03:24 |
| nosrednaekim | vanchuck » ok. is your disk near full? | 03:25 |
| prince_jammys | what about dpkg -reconfigure x-server-xorg | 03:25 |
| vanchuck | nope, it's a 1tb software raid5 using md, except for boot partition | 03:25 |
| mike18 | fatal: could not open //lib/modules/2.6...../nvidia.ko no such file / dir | 03:25 |
| toyo|desk | mike18, ok so its not installed | 03:25 |
| toyo|desk | cool | 03:25 |
| nosrednaekim | vanchuck » well, if its a fresh install, run "rm -rf .kde" | 03:26 |
| toyo|desk | so you need to reinstall the nvidia driver | 03:26 |
| oloughlin75 | nosrednaekim: what the -f? | 03:26 |
| intelikey | vanchuck you may obtain information on what is failing if you a) press crtl+alt+f1 b) login and run sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop c) run startx #note any error messages marked by EE d) run sudo /etc/init.d/?dm start # to return you to the present state of graphical login | 03:26 |
| mike18 | yes toyo|desk: what method | 03:26 |
| oloughlin75 | nosrednaekim: recusive and whats the f? | 03:26 |
| mike18 | restricted-manager still tells me my hardware does not need update | 03:26 |
| nosrednaekim | oloughlin75 » force.... i.e., don't ask questions | 03:27 |
| oloughlin75 | ah | 03:27 |
| toyo|desk | mike may need to do it through apt-get | 03:27 |
| vanchuck | nosrednaekim and intelikey: trying stuff, thanks! | 03:27 |
| mike18 | not adept? | 03:27 |
| mike18 | its in there | 03:27 |
| toyo|desk | or that | 03:28 |
| mike18 | shoudl i also select nvidia-settings | 03:28 |
| nosrednaekim | mike18 » that works too | 03:28 |
| mike18 | and nvidia-xconfig | 03:28 |
| unagi | i swear man kubuntu wigs out on me alot | 03:28 |
| unagi | oloughlin75: did you make any progress? | 03:28 |
| intelikey | unagi heh. long time sense i heard that expression. | 03:29 |
| oloughlin75 | unagi: nah, i dont feel like getting a dvd and trying it out | 03:29 |
| bobby | are you guys going to let me boot into windows just to print 6 pages on a single sheet?! haha | 03:29 |
| oloughlin75 | bobby: YES | 03:29 |
| intelikey | bobby yes | 03:29 |
| nosrednaekim | bobby » uhhhh..... I don't know how to do it..ut that doesn't mean its impossible | 03:29 |
| toyo|desk | so mike18 you can use adept to install it if you want | 03:29 |
| toyo|desk | when you do that then try to modprobe nvidia again | 03:30 |
| unagi | does ANYONE know of a way to play dvd .iso with menus? | 03:30 |
| Arwen | use VLC? :-P | 03:30 |
| intelikey | unagi did you try vlc ? | 03:30 |
| Arwen | VLC can play ISOs | 03:30 |
| Arwen | VLC supports menus | 03:30 |
| Arwen | ergo VLC can play ISOs with menus | 03:30 |
| * intelikey uses vlc in the console | 03:31 | |
| nosrednaekim | later guys.... good luck with your troubles :) | 03:31 |
| bobby | sorry guys, thought it would be a relatively easy questions for people as experienced as you. didnt mean to be a pest | 03:31 |
| unagi | hey so it does | 03:31 |
| unagi | too bad it doesnt recognize media buttons | 03:31 |
| unagi | bobby: what problems do you have? | 03:31 |
| Shinigami_Draik | Is anyone here CEH certified? | 03:32 |
| intelikey | bobby i have setup cups about three times in my life and used it about twice. so printing questions i normally ignore. | 03:32 |
| bobby | unagi: trying to print 6 pages of a pdf on a single sheet. | 03:32 |
| Shinigami_Draik | Wait, that's redundant. | 03:32 |
| oloughlin75 | Shinigami_Draik: he means shrink the pages and place 6 on the paper | 03:33 |
| unagi | bobby: why would you want to do that | 03:33 |
| bobby | intellikey: then ignore it, the attitude isnt really needed. | 03:33 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | bobby: nor is yours | 03:33 |
| intelikey | bobby oh and i don't like/do pdf so that's two reasons i didn't try to help. | 03:33 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | unagi: there are plenty of reasons | 03:33 |
| oloughlin75 | bobby: but, youll keep pestering. you have for a while | 03:34 |
| bobby | unagi: because i want to save paper, plus, each slide of this presentation has a huge solid black strip, im trying to cut down on the toner use as well. | 03:34 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | what are you using? | 03:34 |
| Shinigami_Draik | oloughlin75: huh? | 03:34 |
| unagi | you arent going to be able to read it | 03:34 |
| oloughlin75 | Shinigami_Draik: what were you talking about being redundant? :) | 03:34 |
| toyo|desk | Shinigami_Draik, why are you looking for a certified ethical hacker | 03:34 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | unagi: that isn't necessarily true | 03:34 |
| * intelikey wasn't offering any attitude, he only has enough for himself. | 03:34 | |
| Shinigami_Draik | oloughlin75: CEH certified is redundant. | 03:34 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | pdf != bunches and bunches of text, not necessarily anyway | 03:34 |
| ForgeAus | hehe | 03:34 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | i get slides of notes from school that i print out six to a page | 03:35 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | pdfs | 03:35 |
| ForgeAus | I hate pdf | 03:35 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | so... yeah. | 03:35 |
| ForgeAus | kpdf is nice tho | 03:35 |
| oloughlin75 | Shinigami_Draik: thought you were talking about the pdf thing... so nvm :) | 03:35 |
| toyo|desk | Shinigami_Draik... | 03:35 |
| Shinigami_Draik | toyo|desk: I want to know the legalities to testing my FTP access. I have it with a certain provider that has my information but I want to test it legally. | 03:35 |
| intelikey | Daisuke_Laptop correct could be a cartoon strip. mostly pictures. | 03:35 |
| ForgeAus | I think its mostly adobe I hate | 03:35 |
| icanhasadmin | anyone familiar with DSDTs? I just decompiled mine and it seems much odder than most examples i've seen | 03:35 |
| toyo|desk | Shinigami_Draik, what do you mean "test it" | 03:35 |
| intelikey | ForgeAus ^5 | 03:35 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | intelikey: exactly, i'm saying there are plenty of reasons to print six pages to a page with pdf | 03:36 |
| intelikey | right. | 03:36 |
| toyo|desk | Shinigami_Draik, in order to do any sort of "pen test" you need to have written permission signed | 03:36 |
| icanhasadmin | is that a no on the dsdt? | 03:37 |
| tckb | anybody there? | 03:37 |
| toyo|desk | otherwise you risk severe legal action | 03:37 |
| prince_jammys | !info pdfsnup | bobby | 03:37 |
| ubotu | bobby: Package pdfsnup does not exist in gutsy | 03:37 |
| icanhasadmin | always tck | 03:37 |
| prince_jammys | ha | 03:37 |
| bobby | oloughlin75: true i have asked i think 4 times, i have been very patient though. I didn't realize i could only ask questions that you felt were worthy of a response in a irc room to support new users. geez.. | 03:37 |
| tckb | guys i have prob while bootinng | 03:37 |
| prince_jammys | !info pdfnup | bobby | 03:37 |
| ubotu | bobby: Package pdfnup does not exist in gutsy | 03:37 |
| prince_jammys | mmm | 03:38 |
| intelikey | DSDT ? | 03:38 |
| oloughlin75 | bobby: you kept continuelly posting the go back to windows thing | 03:38 |
| icanhasadmin | Differentiated System Description Table | 03:39 |
| Shinigami_Draik | toyo|desk: Thanks for the help. | 03:39 |
| intelikey | bobby is this guy hasseling you ? | 03:40 |
| bobby | oloughlin75: you're right, and i am wrong. in fact i posted the message twice, easily verifiable by scrolling up. if continuously means twice. i bow before the kde god you are, please forgive me your majesty. oh my | 03:40 |
| tckb | i dont see my spalsh sceen while booting | 03:40 |
| icanhasadmin | hey stop arguing like tehgays and lets just fix bobby's problem | 03:40 |
| bobby | intelikey: yes, icanhasadmin: thank you | 03:41 |
| Shinigami_Draik | bobby: What seems to be the issue? | 03:41 |
| bobby | shinigami_draik: can not figure out how to print 6 pages of a pdf onto 1 sheet of paper. | 03:42 |
| Shinigami_Draik | My understanding is that you want to put a few presentation pages on a single sheet | 03:42 |
| bobby | shinigami_draik: correct | 03:43 |
| Shinigami_Draik | bobby: Let me create a 6 page PDF and I will test it for you. Give me a little bit. | 03:43 |
| bobby | shinigami_draik: thanks | 03:43 |
| icanhasadmin | Yeah, that isn't going to be easy. | 03:43 |
| Kill_yOuR_iDoL | h | 03:43 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about acroread - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 03:46 |
| intelikey | !find acroread | 03:46 |
| ubotu | File acroread found in apparmor-profiles, gworkspace-apps-wrappers, zsh, zsh-beta | 03:46 |

| Daisuke_Laptop | sudo apt-get install evince | 03:47 |
| tckb | <intelikey> | 03:47 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | it's a gtk+ app, but certainly gets the job done | 03:47 |
| intelikey | hummm. there is an official package of acroread somewhere. maybe i'm not spelling it correctly? | 03:47 |
| intelikey | tckb only if you give us more information to work with. | 03:47 |
| bobby | oloughlin75: i'll try that, thanks. shinigami: thanks for trying | 03:47 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | !find acrobat | 03:47 |
| vanchuck | tckb: you can get rid of the splash screen from appearing by removing "splash" from your /boot/grub/menu.lst file | 03:48 |
| ubotu | Package/file acrobat does not exist in gutsy | 03:48 |
| toyo|desk | I have adobe reader 8 on here | 03:48 |
| bobby | Daisuke: thanks! | 03:48 |
| oloughlin75 | intelikey: whats it supposed to be? | 03:48 |
| tckb | i have provided the info 3 times | 03:48 |
| prince_jammys | !info acroread | 03:48 |
| ubotu | Package acroread does not exist in gutsy | 03:48 |
| vanchuck | but I have the same issue, it's because my nvidia card doesn't work until the kernel can load the nvidia module | 03:48 |

| oloughlin75 | you can download it off adobe... the dev file | 03:49 |
| oloughlin75 | deb | 03:49 |
| intelikey | oloughlin75 acroread i think is the name. it may not be in the official repos tho. that's why i tried the !acroread first | 03:49 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | acroread's in the commercial repo | 03:49 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | and again, evince will do it | 03:49 |

| intelikey | ah commercial see i knew i had seen it. | 03:49 |
| vanchuck | tckb: and setting mode to vesa | 03:49 |
| bobby | Daisuke: where would i find that, apparently i already have it | 03:49 |
| vanchuck | never done it myself tho, sorry | 03:49 |
| tckb | how to set the mode to vesa | 03:50 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | bobby: i don't use kde anymore, but check... accessories or system | 03:50 |
| prince_jammys | bobby: type evince | 03:50 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | if neither work, hit alt-f2 and run it that way | 03:50 |

| tckb | u mean like vga =vesa | 03:50 |
| oloughlin75 | wow adobe reader runs so much faster on linux | 03:51 |
| vanchuck | tckb: add vga=791 to the end of the kernel line in menu.lst | 03:51 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | but it's still adobe reader :\ | 03:51 |
| vanchuck | (info from http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/grub.html) | 03:51 |
| prince_jammys | tckb: no splash when you start? | 03:52 |
| tckb | yesss <prince_jammys> | 03:52 |
| intelikey | vanchuck the thing i don't like about the vga= dirrective is that it's kernel specific. changes with time. | 03:53 |

| intelikey | you know. the more i think about it. there is a lot of software that i didn't like the first time i heard of them, and didn't even know why. and every one of them have turned out to be propritary (non-free) ..... and linux didn't even exist back then so you can imagine... | 03:57 |
| ibilic | guys I am about to reinstall windows because of a stupid trojan... I have installed windows first, and then Kubuntu... is there anything I should watch out for? | 04:00 |
| oloughlin75 | ibilic: youll have to reinstall grub if you want to use kubuntu again | 04:00 |
| intelikey | ibilic don't let it destroy the partitions or reformat your linux install. and you'll have to reinstall grub after | 04:00 |
| ibilic | linux is on another partition | 04:01 |
| vanchuck | (if I were you, I'd reinstall kubutu first... and then just never reinstall windows :-P) | 04:01 |
| ibilic | windows has its own partition | 04:01 |
| intelikey | and will want to format both | 04:01 |
| ibilic | how do I reinstall grub? | 04:02 |
| intelikey | !grub | ibilic | 04:02 |

| intelikey | of course | 04:02 |
| oloughlin75 | ibilic: that first link is what yoll have to do | 04:02 |
| intelikey | it's a machine emulator | 04:02 |
| unagi | didnt use to | 04:03 |
| intelikey | well i kinda doubt that that is entirely true. but by your preception ok. and that would mean that something is misconfigured. | 04:03 |
| intelikey | "there is no such thing as a machine emulator that doesn't eat resources" | 04:04 |
| unagi | that woul dindicate it eats resources ALL the time | 04:04 |
| unagi | which it doesnt | 04:04 |
| intelikey | all the time it's active it does | 04:05 |
| unagi | ok | 04:05 |
| vanchuck | for future reference, i would encourage everyone here to NOT upgrade directly from 7.10 to 8.06 | 04:05 |
| vanchuck | it's been a long day of recovery, hehe. | 04:05 |
| unagi | what is 8.06 | 04:05 |
| vanchuck | Hardy | 04:05 |
| oloughlin75 | 8.04 | 04:05 |
| vanchuck | er | 04:05 |
| vanchuck | ya | 04:05 |
| unagi | ooooh 8.04 | 04:05 |
| oloughlin75 | :) | 04:06 |
| === alx1 is now known as alzZz | ||
| unagi | when its 04 2008 im sure 7.10 to 8.04 will be ok | 04:06 |
| intelikey | alpha/beta year.month so 8.4 == 8.04 == 2008.04 | 04:06 |
| vanchuck | ooh, it all makes sense now. thanks | 04:06 |
| intelikey | and hardy is alpha or is it beta now. anyway it's not a release yet. so it isn't actually 8.4 it's just proposed 8.4 | 04:08 |
| unagi | when is kde 4 gonna be bug freeish | 04:08 |
| intelikey | never | 04:08 |
| oloughlin75 | unagi: i havent seen any bugs | 04:08 |
| NickPresta | unagi, KDE 4.1? | 04:08 |
| vanchuck | I think Hardy is on RC4 now... definately nothing resembling a stable release | 04:08 |
| intelikey | but it will probably me most stable just after kde5 comes out | 04:08 |
| oloughlin75 | lol | 04:09 |
| unagi | i guess | 04:09 |
| unagi | i heard alot of bad reviews for kde 4 | 04:09 |
| oloughlin75 | unagi: its not bugy... theres not enough to be bugy :/ | 04:09 |
| oloughlin75 | maybe the new effects | 04:09 |
| unagi | when is apt-get install kubuntu-desktop going to include kde 4 | 04:10 |
| intelikey | 8.10 maybe | 04:10 |
| oloughlin75 | unagi: it does if you have the right repos | 04:10 |
| oloughlin75 | ooo nvm | 04:10 |
| ibilic | where does wine put files if I am downloading them into C: | 04:10 |
| ibilic | C: | 04:10 |
| vanchuck | so strange... my boot partition is on /dev/sda1, but grub for some reason sees that partition as hd(1,0) | 04:10 |

| intelikey | prince_jammys hmm they've changed it... | 04:11 |
| prince_jammys | oh | 04:11 |
| prince_jammys | you mean its c or drive_c | 04:11 |
| unagi | wine wont let me uninstall anything | 04:12 |
| intelikey | prince_jammys i am assumeing you mean it is now drive_c it used to just be C | 04:12 |
| intelikey | but that was when wine was young | 04:12 |
| unagi | any good games for kubuntu? | 04:12 |
| prince_jammys | yes, i installed it last year and it went to drive_c | 04:12 |

| oloughlin75 | unagi: what kind of games are you after? | 04:13 |
| unagi | nexuiz and open arena are pretty good | 04:13 |
| unagi | something of that quality | 04:13 |

| intelikey | you can have a very high quality game of a type that you don't like at all. | 04:14 |

| intelikey | oloughlin75 its probably installed on your system. but if not, it is in the repos. | 04:35 |
| ses59 | ok | 04:35 |
| oloughlin75 | intelikey: no saving? is an edit final? | 04:35 |
| ses59 | do i look for a file named acroread and delete it? | 04:36 |
| intelikey | not sure i understand that ???? | 04:36 |
| oloughlin75 | intelikey: are there shotcuts? | 04:36 |
| genii | ses59: How did you install the reader? | 04:36 |
| ses59 | it is on the menu when you tell the pdf to open with what file | 04:36 |
| intelikey | in vi to save you do [esc]!w | 04:36 |
| ses59 | make install I think | 04:36 |
| intelikey | oloughlin75 yes it's a full grown text editor. but very basic in it's look and feel. | 04:37 |
| SecretLine | can i make kicker (taskbar) hide in other desktop, like desktop 2, and show it in desktop 1 ? | 04:37 |
| genii | ses59: Go to the directory you wrote "make install" in, and do instead "make clean" | 04:38 |
| intelikey | SecretLine wasn't an option in 6.6 but that doesn't mean it can't be done. | 04:38 |
| ses59 | i have both the rpm and gz on my computer not sure what I used to try to install with | 04:38 |
| genii | ses59: That should clean it out. Try and install things from the package manager when possible. | 04:38 |
| genii | ses59: Ubuntu and Kubuntu do not use rpm | 04:39 |
| ses59 | i will look for adobe file with make install | 04:39 |
| SecretLine | intelikey mmm but you know how ? | 04:39 |
| intelikey | no | 04:39 |
| ses59 | i know but i put rpm manager on to install rpm packages bad choice i know now | 04:39 |
| SecretLine | intelikey thx anyway :) | 04:40 |
| intelikey | SecretLine you are probably using 7.10 which is a year and a half later than mine | 04:40 |
| genii | ses59: Try to install from Adept when possible. | 04:40 |
| SecretLine | intelikey im using hardy | 04:40 |
| intelikey | ok two years | 04:40 |

| SecretLine | intelikey ok... | 04:41 |
| genii | arunkale: When in doubt choose /bin/bash | 04:41 |

| norv | arunkale: bash has tab completion. sh doesn't I don't think. big difference | 04:43 |
| intelikey | check the source code for bash and there is a text file that enumerates the major differances in bash/sh but for the others there is even more | 04:43 |
| genii | arunkale: bash is the usual | 04:43 |
| arunkale | alright.. | 04:43 |

| arunkale | you transfer files to your remote server over ssh itself? | 04:47 |
| biovore | I do | 04:48 |
| biovore | sftp anyway | 04:48 |
| biovore | can get a boost on some files if you turn on ssh compression :-) | 04:48 |
| norv | thought scp didn't require anything else but sftp did | 04:49 |
| ses59_ | the file the acroread points to is not there usr/local/Adobe/a..t/&.0/bin/acroread but this director does exsit | 04:49 |
| norv | those elipses meant to be there and the and sign? and was there a / before it all? | 04:49 |

| AndreSTC | oh thanks | 05:08 |
| intelikey | keto where ? | 05:08 |
| keto | (*(* | 05:08 |
| keto | im trying to instal kubuntu but i cant | 05:09 |
| intelikey | why not ? | 05:09 |
| keto | the machine run very slow | 05:09 |
| keto | ir get frezze on the first step | 05:10 |
| intelikey | point gun at machine, make run fast! | 05:10 |
| intelikey | freeze... eeeuuww | 05:10 |
| keto | hehe | 05:10 |
| AndreSTC | is there any article on updating kubuntu 7.04 to 7.10? | 05:10 |
| intelikey | !upgrade | AndreSTC | 05:11 |
| ubotu | AndreSTC: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 05:11 |
| surgy | intelikey: once again you beat me to the punch :) | 05:11 |
| intelikey | surgy quick draw! | 05:11 |
| surgy | :) | 05:12 |
| intelikey | keto not fogetting you. have you tried the alternate install cd/dvd ? | 05:12 |
| keto | there is a way to install without run de cd as live cd just install_ | 05:12 |
| genii | keto: How fast is your computer and how much memory does it have? | 05:12 |
| intelikey | keto it provides the 'venella' text based installer. | 05:12 |
| keto | what is that_ | 05:13 |
| surgy | keto: ever think of xubuntu? | 05:13 |
| keto | i dont understand | 05:13 |
| genii | keto: For slower computers with less than 256Mb RAM, xubuntu is better. | 05:13 |
| intelikey | surgy it sounds like he is trying to describe a problem with the live CD not with his computer. i.e. installed it might not be a problem | 05:14 |
| genii | Hmm | 05:14 |
| surgy | intelikey: [23:09] <keto> the machine run very slow | 05:14 |
| intelikey | surgy yes. and point gun at machine.... blah blah blah | 05:14 |
| intelikey | i do understand that ubuntu is becomming more bloated all the time but 128m ram on a p1 will run kde just fine. | 05:16 |
| keto | i got 256 of ram is it not suficient? | 05:16 |
| intelikey | it just can't load all of the liveCD installer in 128m anymore. | 05:16 |
| ForgeAus | I wonder if fluxbuntu and/or ebuntu (or whatever the enlightenment edition) will become official Ubuntu distros (as in by the Ubuntu/kubntu/xubuntu/edubuntu people | 05:16 |
| intelikey | keto yes. | 05:16 |
| intelikey | keto but you still will probably have better luck installing with the alternate install cd/dvd | 05:17 |
| oloughlin75 | fluxbuntu is a PITA to setup right | 05:17 |
| ForgeAus | I just noticed why is there an ubuntu based on GNUstep as a WM? | 05:17 |
| oloughlin75 | heres a good vid though: http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1802740 | 05:17 |
| ForgeAus | grr scrap the why there | 05:18 |
| genii | keto: 256 should be OK for livecd. If you want a text-only cd to install from, as intelikey suggests get the alternate cd | 05:18 |
| keto | alternate install cd/dvd?? | 05:18 |
| intelikey | yes | 05:18 |
| keto | what is that_? | 05:18 |
| intelikey | http://ubuntu.com go see. | 05:19 |
| ForgeAus | ahh there is Nextbuntu! | 05:19 |
| genii | keto: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download "Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer." <-- CHECK OFF THIS BOX | 05:19 |
| keto | ok | 05:20 |
| keto | ok | 05:20 |
| keto | i think i got it | 05:20 |
| intelikey | tower of bable sheesh. | 05:20 |
| * genii ponders all the *buntus | 05:21 | |
| keto | it is like the windows cd? only for installation ok?\ | 05:21 |
| genii | keto: You boot the cd like before but ho graphic install. Only text. | 05:21 |
| genii | ho->no | 05:21 |

| zepeuga | hi! when running "Xephyr :1" i got the error "Extended Input Devices not yet supported. bla bla bla" whats the matter? | 05:47 |
| ForgeAus | I had real pains trying to get Xephyr working with Edgy a while ago | 05:47 |
| intelikey | prolly a wacom error | 05:47 |
| ForgeAus | Xnest was so simple in Zenwalk | 05:47 |
| ForgeAus | (but that was preconfigured already) | 05:47 |
| AndreSTC | is there a way to redestribute the space of the partitions? | 05:48 |
| ForgeAus | I found it handy to have as a root X-Server running alongside the user one | 05:48 |
| zepeuga | intelikey, how an i correct the wacom error ? | 05:48 |
| ForgeAus | Andre yes and no | 05:48 |
| intelikey | AndreSTC not safely | 05:48 |
| ForgeAus | the safest would be to back up your partitions and rebuild on an empty drive to the size you require | 05:49 |
| intelikey | zepeuga edit the xorg.conf file and remove the referances to them ? | 05:49 |
| ForgeAus | then restore the data back (as long as theres enough room for the restorations) | 05:49 |
| zepeuga | intelikey, ok thanks. Thats because i don't know what is a "wacom" ;) | 05:50 |
| ForgeAus | does norton ghost work with ext partitions? | 05:50 |
| ForgeAus | (as in e2fs or if you like ext2/3 to be more explicit) | 05:51 |
| intelikey | AndreSTC i concur with ForgeAus on that. if possable copy your data some place and rebuild your disk then restore the data. be advised that normal copy procedures do not preserve links and permissions tho. | 05:51 |
| intelikey | !wacom | zepeuga | 05:51 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about wacom - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 05:51 |
| zepeuga | i already know | 05:51 |
| zepeuga | googled ;) | 05:51 |
| intelikey | well they have removed the infonode | 05:51 |
| zepeuga | thx | 05:51 |
| ForgeAus | Intelikey I tend to suggest backing up rather than copying | 05:51 |
| intelikey | heh. but a backup is a copy :) | 05:52 |
| zepeuga | brb gonna restart xorg | 05:52 |
| ForgeAus | intelikey depending on what program you use to back it up with it can be more :) | 05:52 |
| intelikey | ForgeAus yeah it can change perms and break links. but we both understand all that already. | 05:53 |
| ForgeAus | (ie restoring from backup is preforable to copying for the exact reason you said about the deficiencies with copying and so on... ) | 05:53 |
| intelikey | cp -a :P | 05:53 |
| zepeuga | intelikey, wacom was not the problem. The whole error its: Extended Input Devices not yet supported. Impelement it at line 625 in ../../../../hw/kdrive/src/kinput.c | 05:54 |
| zepeuga | Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic, removing from list! | 05:54 |
| intelikey | normal. | 05:54 |
| intelikey | ah kinput ok | 05:54 |

| AndreSTC | intelikey when i access /media i can see one hd partition, but the strange thing is that things are not being installed on this one... It has 50GB and is not being used(its name is sda3). When i run df -h i see that i have one partition called sda1, that is almost full...Since i can see the sda3 on /media/, can i send the files from sda1 to sda3? | 06:01 |
| snarkster | !ndiswrapper | 06:03 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 06:03 |
| genii | AndreSTC: Since sda1 is normally the boot drive, sending the files from there to somewhere else is not a good idea. | 06:03 |
| intelikey | AndreSTC yeah you can do that. now let me tell you some of the things to look out for copying to a submounted file system you need to be carefull not to let it "recurse" into the other fs and you have to preserve permissions and ownership as well you want to preserce links. with the copy command some of that is not easy to do. with the tar command however... | 06:04 |
| genii | intelikey: Yer on yer own there then :) | 06:05 |
| intelikey | sudo tar --one-file-system -cf - "$1" | sudo tar -xf - -C "$2" | 06:06 |
| intelikey | genii ok? | 06:06 |
| intelikey | be sure to translate $1 and $2 | 06:06 |
| genii | intelikey: I don't think he wants to back up sda1 there so much as mv them there ;) | 06:07 |
| Aloha | how do you change timestamp in konversation to 12 hour time? | 06:07 |
| intelikey | genii yes and you have to back things up there first if you plan on deleting them in / because some things have to change. i.e. boot loader and fstab | 06:08 |
| AndreSTC | intelikey isnt there a way to "fuse" sda1 with sda3 ? So i get only 1 partition with 55GB | 06:09 |
| intelikey | well you might be able to use gparted and delete the second and resize the fisrt but i don't like the way things go if anything craps out on you. | 06:09 |
| intelikey | AndreSTC also you can use unionfs to intermingle the two fs's i.e. mounting them both on the same mountpoint / and seeing all that is in both of them. | 06:10 |
| intelikey | that's convoluted as wine tho. | 06:11 |
| intelikey | there are probably other more desireable options. i.e. mounting the second fs on /home ? | 06:12 |
| intelikey | in which case i sujest using cp -a /home/* /media//sda3 or what ever it was. | 06:13 |
| AndreSTC | intelikey what u think is the easiest way? | 06:13 |
| intelikey | the last mentioned | 06:13 |
| intelikey | and the safest | 06:13 |
| sub[t]rnl | intelikey➜ yo | 06:14 |
| intelikey | you can do that in three steps. copy the stuff form home to the mounted media fs editing your fstable deleting what's in /home and reboothing | 06:14 |
| intelikey | sub[t]rnl | 06:14 |
| sub[t]rnl | hey do you recall a way to update /etc/group without having to logout? | 06:15 |
| AndreSTC | intelikey so, after doing that, everything else i install will be on sda3? | 06:15 |
| intelikey | yes. but i dont' recall what it was... | 06:15 |
| * sub[t]rnl nods | 06:15 | |
| sub[t]rnl | can't put my finger on it | 06:15 |
| sub[t]rnl | update-passwd was no joy | 06:15 |
| intelikey | AndreSTC no. everything in your home will be on sda3 and what is installed (system wide) will be on sda1 but that will probably never reach 6g how big is sda1 anyway ? | 06:17 |
| intelikey | AndreSTC can you do a df -h and post the line with sda1 in it please | 06:17 |
| AndreSTC | [intelikey]: 5.1GB... it currentky has 3.7GB(im updating kubuntu, so it will probably get full) | 06:17 |
| intelikey | yeah you'll be hard ressed to ever fill that | 06:18 |
| intelikey | hard pressed | 06:18 |
| AndreSTC | internet_ system wide, u mean, upgrades etc? | 06:18 |
| AndreSTC | ops, intelikey thats for you | 06:19 |
| sub[t]rnl | pff, newgrp | 06:19 |
| sub[t]rnl | there it is | 06:20 |
| intelikey | AndreSTC yes. now i have one other sujestion for you. if you are a media tinkeror you might want to split the big partition into three parts one about 4g one about 3g and the other the rest of it. then you can mount 3g on /var/cache/apt/archives 4g on /tmp and the other on /home that will expand the size of your system greatly and is a simple solution | 06:21 |
| genii | bbiab | 06:22 |
| intelikey | you just use gparted to setup the partitions and edit the fstab copy your home to the new home and reboot | 06:22 |
| linux_user400354 | how can i remove everything installed from the mediubuntu repository and undo all the changes it did? it also upgraded software and things do not work right. id really like to do more than take it out of my sources.list. i need to undo all the changes it did. could anyone please tell me how? | 06:23 |
| intelikey | that will give you 4g of temp space and a place to keep your package cache incase anything goes wrong you don't have to dl them again. and your home has how ever much room is left. | 06:24 |
| AndreSTC | intelikey i get it... ill try it later, cause im downloading kubuntu update... i cant install gparted while doing that | 06:24 |
| intelikey | linux_user400354 apt-cache policy might tell you where things are from idk. i haven't messed much with medibuntu | 06:25 |
| AndreSTC | intelikey thanks for your help, i have to go down. ill try it at the morning | 06:26 |
| intelikey | linux_user400354 ok for Q in `dpkg -l | cut -d' ' -f3` ;do apt-cache policy $Q | grep -q medibuntu && echo "$Q" ;done | 06:27 |
| intelikey | that should get you a list. | 06:27 |

| intelikey | put # in front of line with 'automatix' | 06:37 |
| Aloha | does anyone know how to change timestamp to 12 hour in konversation? | 06:38 |
| sub[t]rnl | ok gundam_rx78nt1, i know your wanting it.. everybody oops.. | 06:38 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | :p | 06:39 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | lol | 06:39 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | !uck | 06:39 |
| ubotu | UCK is a tool that helps you customise official Ubuntu Live CDs (including Kubuntu/Xubuntu and Edubuntu) to your needs. See http://uck.sourceforge.net/ | 06:39 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | ok, so it is true about the customization kit. | 06:39 |
| * genii sips his coffee | 06:40 | |
| intelikey | genii give jussi01 some coffee he's being emo again. | 06:40 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | I wonder if I can make a network bootable image to use PXE boot on a "thin client". | 06:40 |
| genii | Interestingly, a TimestampFormat entry in ~.kde/share/config/konversationrc of h:m:s:z seems to give 1000th of a second for value z | 06:41 |
| * genii slides jussi01 a nice large coffee | 06:41 | |
| jussi01 | Aloha: its under settings, cant quite remember exactly where, but look through there and you will find it | 06:41 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | genii, don't forget the biscotti with that. | 06:42 |
| * jussi01 thanks genii and downs the coffee in one large gulp | 06:42 | |
| Aloha | jussi01: i see it, but it doesn't like whatever value i put there. like right now its hh:mm but if i put ii:mm it just puts a literal "ii" in timestamp | 06:42 |
| genii | gundam_rx78nt1: He/she will need to forage for their own grub :) I just make the coffee | 06:42 |
| jussi01 | he :) | 06:42 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | mmm, grub... now I can go for that. | 06:43 |
| genii | Aloha: There is no 12 hour timestamp yet for konversation. I just spent the last few minutes looking into it | 06:43 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | I am pulling an alnighter here at work. | 06:43 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | sucks. | 06:43 |
| Aloha | genii: ok thanx. that would explain why it can't get it to work :) | 06:43 |
| genii | Aloha: Yup:) | 06:44 |
| intelikey | Aloha Hh:mm | 06:44 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | shouldn't that be part of the regional settings? | 06:44 |
| intelikey | nevermind wrong app | 06:44 |
| intelikey | but you can try HH:mm | 06:45 |
| intelikey | might need /p idk | 06:45 |
| genii | intelikey: uppercase or lowercase, one or two h or m or s makes no difference. I just went through all this empirically in the konversationrc file | 06:45 |
| genii | No letters are valid except h m s and z | 06:46 |
| intelikey | then it's poorly writen ;/ | 06:46 |
| genii | the clock syntax of pH:MM:SS AMPM doesn't work either | 06:46 |
| Aloha | hrmm | 06:46 |
| Aloha | just gives a literal HH | 06:46 |
| intelikey | ok i tried. | 06:47 |
| genii | On the bright side I get now 1000ths of a second timestamps :) | 06:47 |
| Aloha | hehe | 06:47 |

| karllenz | i ust skipped the config for now | 06:50 |
| genii | Oh wait he asked under the line about his no-name ATI :) | 06:51 |
| jussi01 | intelikey: dont!! | 06:51 |

| gundam_rx78nt1 | oh, almost got caught. | 06:53 |
| intelikey | jussi01 don't which ? what ? | 06:53 |
| genii | Aloha: I put a:b:c:d:e:f:g:h:i:j:k:l:m:n:o:p:q:r:s:t:u:v:w:x:y:z for a timestamp and only the h m s and z gave anything besides literal | 06:54 |
| sub[t]rnl | whoa, whats z? | 06:54 |
| jussi01 | intelikey: you were kicking the bot. ;) | 06:54 |
| genii | sub[t]rnl: 1/1000th of a second | 06:54 |

| Aloha | arsenic cookie | 06:57 |
| * genii ponders the co-dependent relationship | 06:57 | |

| genii | For the persisten swearers we should have something like: Wow! You swear so much, here's a bar of soap to eat! or so | 06:58 |

| Daisuke_Ido | ...no, i don't think i've seen that | 07:00 |
| jussi01 | Ok, guys, please take the offtopic talk elsewhere | 07:01 |
| genii | Any pending tech support questions? | 07:01 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | any pointers on making a thin client boot Kubuntu via PXE boot? | 07:04 |
| ForgeAus | (maybe bootp) use tftp and um | 07:04 |
| ForgeAus | have a static IP | 07:04 |
| ForgeAus | (there is also a pxe linux kernel and a mini.iso of a linux base) | 07:05 |
| genii | gundam_rx78nt1: You can use a variation of the netboot install method and just use some variation of the livecd image to run instead of an install image | 07:05 |
| ForgeAus | thats also possible :) | 07:05 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | mmm. this might just become my next weekends project. | 07:06 |
| genii | gundam_rx78nt1: Some good reference I used for my own setup: http://wiki.koeln.ccc.de/index.php/Ubuntu_PXE_Install | 07:07 |

| ingo_ | I haven't got a clue I'm afraid. It happened to me once and I was absolutely stumped, tried everything in my knowledge to make it work but couldn't... | 10:00 |
| ActionParsnip | TheGentleman, did you MD5 checkyour ISO before burning? | 10:02 |
| TheGentleman | ingo_ I have a Kubuntu alternate CD available too. You know if i can try use that disk instead? I only knew the use of "alternate" to upgrade from an older version | 10:02 |
| TheGentleman | ActionParsnip, that is something i do routinely for every burning. I also always set K3B to verify burnt CDs afterwards | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip | TheGentleman, then it is very unlikely your cd is faulty | 10:04 |
| TheGentleman | may be a scratch on it.... | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | give it a looksee :D | 10:05 |
| TheGentleman | what about using the "alternate" cd for installing? | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip | TheGentleman, should be fine | 10:05 |
| TheGentleman | well, going to give a try.... many thanks! | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | TheGentleman, you could always use VirtualBox | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip | TheGentleman, to test :) | 10:07 |

| Divilinux | so probabily you need compiz-kde package ti install | 11:09 |
| peto | ok | 11:09 |
| Divilinux | kubuntu comes without compiz by default..;) | 11:10 |
| gladier | hey guys - is there a multi-monitor setup utility for kubuntu? | 11:10 |
| apparle | hi | 11:10 |
| peto | there is compiz kde installed already | 11:11 |

| Divilinux | nvidia-drivers should be fully supported by default | 11:13 |
| peto | i know | 11:14 |
| Divilinux | could you start compiz from konsole and put the output in a pastebin page? | 11:14 |
| peto | i dont know what to do | 11:14 |
| Divilinux | just launch "compiz" | 11:14 |
| peto | when i launch compiz screen gonna be white | 11:15 |
| peto | but thats not a cube | 11:15 |
| peto | just one side... | 11:15 |

| apparle | how to access the parallel port in a sh script | 11:31 |
| llutz | apparle: echo blafoo >/dev/lp0 | 11:32 |

| llutz | "nothing" | 11:33 |
| llutz | apparle: what do you want to do? | 11:33 |
| apparle | llutz: I want to check for a pulse at a bit of parallel port and want to send play/pause signal to kaffiene | 11:35 |
| llutz | apparle: i don't think that shell-scripts are a recommended way to do that. I guess you should use a "real" programming language | 11:36 |
| apparle | llutz: I am not good at any language. What if I read the port for a particular number and the execute the command dcop something | 11:38 |

| apparle | llutz: can you suggest any function for c++ then | 11:43 |
| llutz | apparle: maybe try a look at lirc.org | 11:44 |

| DeadJones | ive replace the fstab a dozen times now, different commands to do the same thing, but in the end nothing has worked | 14:44 |
| DeadJones | any worthwhile suggestions? reinstalling is not an option | 14:45 |
| ingo_ | DeadJones - do a cd /etc/rc2.d and check permissions in there | 14:47 |

| AndreSTC | I just upgraded kubuntu(7.04->7.10). But now, after the loading screen, there is just a black screen. Its not showing the login screen... Any ideas on how to solve that? | 14:49 |
| ingo_ | AndreSTC - edit the kernel line of your /boot/grub/menu.lst and get rid of the word "splash" | 14:50 |
| ingo_ | you should now see what is happening during boot | 14:50 |
| DeadJones | ingo: for every check i have to boot from livecd | 14:50 |
| AndreSTC | [ingo_]: how can i edit that? i dont know how to access the text mode | 14:51 |
| DeadJones | i have no cli prompt since i got this error | 14:51 |
| ingo_ | DeadJones - well, I'd boot into knoppix, change to the rc2.d directory and check all the permissions there, pain the royal behind it may be... - but that is where I would start | 14:52 |
| DeadJones | so it takes a while for every check | 14:52 |
| ingo_ | one boot and you can check the entire directory | 14:52 |
| DeadJones | true | 14:52 |
| ingo_ | AndreSTC - google grub - it has a powerful cli | 14:52 |
| ingo_ | command line | 14:52 |
| DeadJones | been trying to find a log of errors but seems i didnt have logging enabled and cant change that until i get a good boot again | 14:52 |
| llutz | as it's only links in /etc/rc2.d they all are 777 root:root | 14:53 |
| ingo_ | cheers | 14:53 |
| ingo_ | :) | 14:53 |
| DeadJones | would it be an issue if they're all 777 root:root as i dont boot into root? | 14:53 |
| ingo_ | follow those links then? | 14:53 |
| llutz | they all point to /etc/init.d (SysVinit) | 14:54 |
| DeadJones | k | 14:54 |
| DeadJones | thank god for the livecd. i'd be crippled and screwed 2x without it | 14:55 |
| DeadJones | gotta restart this xchat to get the colors working | 14:55 |
| ingo_ | llutz - so what do you reckon his prob is? seems odd that runlevel 2 is "off" | 14:56 |
| llutz | DeadJones: you talked about fstab, what did you change there? | 14:56 |
| AndreSTC | [ingo_]: ok, im on the command line. | 14:59 |
| ingo_ | select your kernel and press "c" | 14:59 |
| ingo_ | now you see the full kernel line - delete the word splash, press enter and boot | 15:00 |
| ingo_ | and see what happens | 15:00 |
| AndreSTC | ingo_ i supose its the newest version? | 15:00 |
| ingo_ | likely | 15:00 |
| Vadi | What is the command to switch to kde's window manager? "kwin --replace" ? | 15:01 |

| BluesKaj | Howdy All :-) | 15:02 |
| DeadJones | ok, ls -l shows all files in /etc/rc2.d with lrwxrwxrwx 1 root | 15:03 |
| AndreSTC | ingo_ i dont get what you mean by deleting the word splash, sorry im slow =p | 15:03 |
| DeadJones | and all files in /etc/init.d are -rwxr-xr-x 1 root | 15:03 |
| DeadJones | errr, and all files in /etc/init.d are -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root | 15:04 |
| ingo_ | DeadJones - llutz wanted to know something... | 15:04 |
| llutz | DeadJones: you talked about fstab, what did you change there? | 15:05 |
| ingo_ | AndreSTC - if there is no "splash" then get rid of "Quiet" and boot | 15:05 |
| DeadJones | used livecd to copy over default fstab from /etc/fstab to the /dev/sda1 partition | 15:05 |
| DeadJones | i figured fstab was screwed again | 15:06 |
| DeadJones | when playing with partitions i had the misfortune of accidently trying to disable / | 15:06 |
| llutz | DeadJones: *g | 15:06 |
| sebastian^ | moin zusammen | 15:07 |
| jpatrick | sebastian^: hallo | 15:07 |
| DeadJones | thats when everything went to hell, btw. and since ive replaced fstab with orig from livecd a number of times now, even doing sudo su - and then copying it over (as to avoid permissions error) it still wont boot | 15:08 |
| DeadJones | i used to just say to hell with it and just reinstall. dont want to ever have to do that again. so i'll find a solution eventually .. i hope :p | 15:08 |
| BluesKaj | DeadJones, on the live cd you can re-edit and make / active afaik . | 15:08 |
| AndreSTC | [ingo_]: i got it, i just dont get how im a suposed to delete it | 15:09 |
| blizzzek | bye | 15:09 |
| DeadJones | heh, havent tried doing that. i set the sda1 to / and sda3 to /home | 15:10 |
| DeadJones | sda2 has 1.0Kb size. dunno wth thats all about. the others, sda5 and 6 are swap | 15:11 |
| DeadJones | wish me luck | 15:11 |
| DeadJones | if this works i'll be your sugar daddy for porn access :p | 15:11 |
| BluesKaj | hmm, having / and / home on diff partitions is supposed to be so great , dunno why , it never worked out right for me , but then maybe i screwed up the OS upgrade the last time i tried | 15:12 |
| DeadJones | i had it all on one partition once but never got it to install that way again | 15:12 |
| DeadJones | was on mandriva too. go figure. as screwy as that distro is, something worked right | 15:12 |
| llutz | BluesKaj: it's just easier to reinstall/upgrade with seperate /home, as you just don't need to configure all your apps again etc.pp | 15:13 |
| DeadJones | newp. same crap errors | 15:13 |
| DeadJones | llutz: i can reinstall just the / ? | 15:13 |
| === Extrapan100 is now known as Extrapan100^BNC | ||
| llutz | DeadJones: sure just reinstall and mount your old /home after that. just make sure the /home-partition will _not_ be touched (not formatted) | 15:14 |
| BluesKaj | llutz, yes i understand the reasons , it just didn't work out ...my /home partition became very slow and clunky si i just did a clean install. | 15:14 |
| BluesKaj | the apps would take forever to launch etc | 15:15 |
| DeadJones | i cant afford a clean install. too much stuff on /home is irreplaceable. plus i have one of a kind custom scripts running | 15:15 |
| llutz | DeadJones: you should think about a good backup-strategy too :) | 15:16 |
| DeadJones | after this i plan to. perhaps some kind of ghosting | 15:16 |
| llutz | images are not good backups, to much crap, hard to restore single files etc. | 15:16 |
| DeadJones | perhaps i can condense the /home partition and burn it to a couple dvr's | 15:19 |
| DeadJones | err, dvdr's | 15:19 |
| DeadJones | then script a backup system to copy new stuff over every few days somewhere | 15:20 |
| llutz | use something like rsnapshot | 15:21 |
| DeadJones | heh, i actually put that on for that intent but forgot about it | 15:21 |
| jhutchins_lt | DeadJones: Pardon, but there doesn't seem to be a systematic approach to what you're doing. You're just randomly trying stuff. | 15:21 |
| DeadJones | when something breaks you try everything till it works again | 15:22 |
| jhutchins_lt | DeadJones: Not a good strategy. | 15:22 |
| DeadJones | well the one thing you didnt try could have fixed it | 15:22 |
| DeadJones | doesnt make it more broken | 15:22 |
| jhutchins_lt | DeadJones: For instance, the fstab from the live CD was a bad idea, that uses a completely different filestructure. | 15:22 |
| jhutchins_lt | DeadJones: What does it do when you try to boot it now? | 15:23 |
| DeadJones | i would agree on that but ive seen it mentioned more than a few times in the forums | 15:23 |

| DeadJones | thats from screen that i would see. if there's more to it i couldnt find it logged anywhere | 15:24 |
| jhutchins_lt | so permissions problems, particularly with sh. | 15:24 |
| DeadJones | yes, would seem so | 15:25 |
| DeadJones | looking to see if i can reinstall just the / | 15:26 |
| jhutchins_lt | Could somebody with a funcitonal kubuntu system paste the fstab line for their root partition? | 15:26 |
| jhutchins_lt | DeadJones: Yes, if /home is a seperate partition, you can. I would format the rest. | 15:26 |
| jhutchins_lt | I would, in fact, delete the two swap partitions and create a single one instead. | 15:27 |
| Lynoure | jhutchins_lt: sure... though I'm not sure what use it will be to you... "UUID=f431e05c-2650-4281-a865-f4807057af01 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1" | 15:27 |
| setuid_w00t | Is it possible to launch applications so that they appear on a specific virtual desktop using the AutoStart mechanism? | 15:27 |
| DeadJones | im at the prep disk space part of the installer. chose 'manual.' can choose partitions in /sda to format. ive chosen to format /dev/sda1 ext3 / and /dev/sda5 and 6 as swap | 15:30 |
| DeadJones | trying to wipe out sda6 and add space to sda5 | 15:32 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you want to get rid of your swap space? | 15:34 |
| DeadJones | have 2 swap partitions. making 1 | 15:34 |
| AndreSTC | igno i managed to do it now... but things pass to fast, i cant read... but i saw one Fail at the end | 15:34 |
| Daisuke_Ido | it would help if i read, wouldn't it? | 15:36 |
| Daisuke_Ido | :) | 15:36 |
| DeadJones | hope this dont screw up. set / for format/install. if i lose /home im screwed and out of a job :p | 15:37 |

| DeadJones | what'd i do wrong? | 16:04 |
| BluesKaj | hmm, sounds familiar | 16:05 |
| DeadJones | doing a sudo cp -r /home/home/dead /home/dead1 | 16:07 |
| DeadJones | can just login as dead1 if that works | 16:07 |
| jhutchins_lt | Best to do this on a non-live system, boot from the live CD. | 16:07 |
| jhutchins_lt | mount the partition, and move dead from /mnt/home/dead to /mnt/dead | 16:08 |
| DeadJones | edit the fstab you mean? | 16:08 |
| DeadJones | in cat /etc/fstab it shows as /home not /home/home or /mnt/home | 16:10 |

| karthikp | This is probably an old issue, but why does Gutsy not recognize a storage medium, such as a DVD, if it's connected (or in the drive) at bootup? | 17:11 |
| AndreSTC | coreymon77 http://rafb.net/p/4pMkxk39.html | 17:11 |
| karthikp | I usually have to eject the DVD and insert it back in to get it to automount. | 17:11 |

| coreymon77 | ? | 17:13 |

| AndreSTC | coreymon77 yes, im sure | 17:15 |
| AndreSTC | is that bad? lol | 17:15 |
| coreymon77 | AndreSTC: well, youre wireless card doesnt seem to appear there | 17:15 |
| coreymon77 | AndreSTC: is it a usb or pmcia card? | 17:15 |
| AndreSTC | let me see if i can figure out | 17:16 |
| coreymon77 | AndreSTC: try these | 17:17 |
| coreymon77 | AndreSTC: lspmcia and lsusb | 17:17 |
| coreymon77 | try those two seperately | 17:17 |
| coreymon77 | then paste each in a pastebin | 17:17 |
| AndreSTC | [coreymon77]: lspmcia was not found | 17:18 |
| coreymon77 | okay | 17:18 |
| coreymon77 | and what about lsusb? | 17:18 |
| AndreSTC | coreymon77 lsusb found some stuff, let me paste | 17:18 |
| AndreSTC | coreymon77 http://rafb.net/p/FKXNQy12.html | 17:19 |

| * SlimeyPete reads up | 17:22 | |
| coreymon77 | do you know the manufacturers website for the laptop model | 17:22 |
| SlimeyPete | it's "lspcmcia" | 17:22 |
| SlimeyPete | just incase that makes a difference. | 17:22 |
| coreymon77 | oh, whoops | 17:22 |
| coreymon77 | AndreSTC: try that one | 17:22 |
| coreymon77 | AndreSTC: lspcmcia | 17:22 |

| boubbin | can i somehow run amarok in "screen" or within simething similar, so shutting down the x-server wont stop the music playback ? | 17:24 |
| coreymon77 | that still didnt help us | 17:24 |
| AndreSTC | ok | 17:24 |
| coreymon77 | AndreSTC: once again, do you know the manufacturers website for the laptop/can you find it for us | 17:24 |
| AndreSTC | [coreymon77]: let me see | 17:25 |
| coreymon77 | SlimeyPete: wifi problems are hard to fix when you dont even know what card you are working with | 17:25 |
| SheeEttin | boubbin: why do you need to shut down the X server? | 17:25 |
| AndreSTC | coreymon77 its from amazonpc | 17:25 |
| coreymon77 | AndreSTC: can you give me the link to the model's page? | 17:25 |
| AndreSTC | coreymon77 i have a cd with drivers here, but well... my cdrom isnt working either after i upgraded | 17:26 |
| boubbin | SheeEttin if sometimes i restart kde to make some changes effect and try different desktops like gnome and xfce, but i would like to hear the music while im trying these things, is it possible ? | 17:26 |
| coreymon77 | huh? | 17:26 |
| coreymon77 | so, what card are we talking about? | 17:26 |
| jussi01 | Ok, im getting this error when I try run glxgears: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". | 17:27 |

But, if I open special window settings dialog, it instantly remembers that skype should be on desktop 2, and moves it there. What could be the problem? | 17:30 |

| Wunar | SlimeyPete: doesn't help, all the applications independent on where they were are back on the first desktop after logout/login | 17:32 |
| SheeEttin | Wunar: You sure the window is being identified correctly? | 17:33 |
| SlimeyPete | AndreSTC: http://globalsyzygy.wordpress.com/2007/12/30/fixing-your-rtl8187-netgear-wg111v2-in-ubuntu/ <-- mentions your chipset, might be worth looking at | 17:33 |

| AndreSTC | SlimeyPete ok, thanks | 17:36 |
| === SheeEttin_ is now known as SheeEttin | ||
| rysiek|pl | Dragnslcr: as far as I can see from the manpages, dig only does normal DNS lookups. I.e. I can get the IP of google.com, but I can't get the DNS name of 195.114.161.61 | 17:39 |
| rysiek|pl | am I missing anything? | 17:39 |
| BluesKaj | rysiek|pl, some IPs are hidden even from dig | 17:41 |
| Dragnslcr | rysiek|pl- you can try nslookup | 17:41 |
| rysiek|pl | BluesKaj: I have my *own* local DNS server :) | 17:41 |
| rysiek|pl | BluesKaj: and am trying to test the revdns | 17:41 |
| SheeEttin | lol | 17:42 |
| SheeEttin | Excuse me a moment. | 17:42 |
| rysiek|pl | Dragnslcr: I can't see anything on nslookups manpage about reverse dns queries | 17:43 |
| ali | tets | 17:43 |
| Dragnslcr | nslookup a.b.c.d should work | 17:43 |
| jmichaelx | have any of you upgraded to KDE 3.5.9, and if so, what do you think of it? | 17:44 |
| boubbin | can i run amarok without x server but still be able to get the amarok session to my kde when x server is on ? | 17:45 |
| rysiek|pl | Dragnslcr: ** server can't find 1.200.168.192.in-addr.arpa: NXDOMAIN | 17:45 |
| rysiek|pl | Dragnslcr: seems like it's trying to do a regular DNS query | 17:45 |
| BluesKaj | jmichaelx, yes and it seems ok, until the adept update is installed , then everything seems to hang for about 5-10secs before launching, that's my experience so far ...it's still buggy | 17:45 |
| Dragnslcr | No, it means it can't find a DNS entry for the address | 17:45 |

| jmichaelx | BluesKaj: i run a few different distros, and and even though kubuntu is what i use primarily, fedora 8 has really impressed me, and has had FAR fewer hardware issue than kubuntu | 17:51 |
| BluesKaj | jmichaelx, I do think the distro after Hardy will be fully supported like Dapper is , but my info so far is thet hardy won't be more than a 6 month thing just like gutsy | 17:51 |
| === SheeEttin_ is now known as SheeEttin | ||
| jmichaelx | BluesKaj: : my understanding has been that Ubuntu would be LTS, but that Kubuntu hardy would not be, due to the introduction of KDE4 | 17:52 |

| SheeEttin | jmichaelx: Hardy'll use KDE 4? | 17:53 |
| eser | I need help with ps3 kubuntu , i cant boot with kde on startup , i always go to shell and had to write startx to open kde .. any solutions _? | 17:53 |
| jmichaelx | i really want to stay with kubuntu, but if the devs are not going to care any more than they do about wireless, for example, then i'm out | 17:53 |
| marcowismuth | so it's a place where people using linus can talk ? | 17:54 |
| jmichaelx | SheeEttin: that is my understanding | 17:54 |
| Dragnslcr | SheeEttin- not by default, but it will be in the repositories | 17:54 |
| marcowismuth | can we talk to devs here ? | 17:54 |
| BluesKaj | SheeEttin, jmichaelx , no hardy will stick with kde 3.5.8 or .9 afaik. | 17:54 |
| jmichaelx | Dragnslcr: : i see. i thought KDE4 would be default in hardy. i must have been misinformed | 17:54 |
| Dragnslcr | I doubt KDE 4.0 will be nearly stable enough to be the default for 8.04 | 17:55 |
| Dragnslcr | Maybe for 8.10 | 17:55 |
| flipstar | Dragnslcr: there will be one version with kde4, one without | 17:55 |
| flipstar | that one with kde3 will have lts | 17:55 |
| Dragnslcr | Yeah, I've heard that, too | 17:55 |
| jmichaelx | i have KDE4.01 on this machine... i accidentaly removed the clock from the panel, and for the life of me, i cannot figure out how to put it back lol | 17:55 |
| SheeEttin | According to Riddell himself, 8.04 won't be LTS at all, but will ship with both KDE 4 and 3.5: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-devel/2007-December/002066.html | 17:56 |
| Dragnslcr | I don't think KDE 3.5 is going to be supported for long enough to make 8.04 an LTS version | 17:57 |
| marcowismuth | one thing i don't understand : if ubuntu will be lts than kubuntu too, am i right ? | 17:57 |
| Dragnslcr | marcowismuth- no | 17:57 |
| jmichaelx | marcowismuth: apparently not | 17:57 |
| marcowismuth | i explain myself | 17:58 |
| marcowismuth | how can ubuntu be LTS and Kubuntu non LTS ? | 17:58 |
| jmichaelx | ok , i am going to reboot and see how things in 3.5.9 are | 17:58 |
| Dragnslcr | Because KDE 3.5 isn't going to be supported for 3 years | 17:58 |
| Dragnslcr | KDE 4.x will be the only active branch by then | 17:59 |

| rohan | why do you need 64bit anyway, cloakable ? | 19:07 |

| cloakable | rohan: No compiling, but the laptop is amd64 | 19:08 |

| jeisma | SlimeyPete to be specific, i started up my linux one day, the wireless around showed up, and then they all went away | 19:12 |

| Daisuke_Laptop | or alt+f2, xkill | 19:29 |
| jhutchins | or pkill <processname> | 19:29 |
| unagi | ctrl alt esc is what i was looking for ty | 19:29 |

| jhutchins | Daisuke_Laptop: You still have to specify a signal to kill, don't you? | 19:30 |
| jhutchins | Pablo_32: Possible? Yes. | 19:31 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | jhutchins: iunno, never used kill on its own | 19:31 |
| Pablo_32 | jhutchins: Thank you. How can i do that? | 19:31 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | i use killall because it's somewhat human readable | 19:31 |
| flipstar | !wpa > Pablo_32 | 19:31 |
| cva | no siganl needed, it defaults to 15 | 19:32 |

| trappist | jhutchins: oops, sorry, meant for encrypt128bit | 20:57 |
| trappist | encrypt128bit: in my opinion, unless you're taking advantage of lvm features, no - you're just adding another point of failure and some (light) additional overhead. | 20:57 |
| jhutchins | trappist: ah, I see that now. | 20:57 |
| jhutchins | encrypt128bit: lvm is evil. | 20:58 |
| keto | it works | 20:58 |
| jhutchins | keto: Of course it does! | 20:58 |
| jhutchins | keto: It's actually very handy, I'm quite out of the habit of hand-hacking my web pages now, I just use fish and quanta. | 20:58 |
| encrypt128bit | jhutchins: Thanks. heh, if/when i get ubuntu to install i want to be sure im using the best way to handle the system. So, in your opinion would making a 10 gig ext3 root, a 3gig swap and the rest of the space avaible /home ext3 be a wise decision? | 20:59 |
| keto | what i do now? | 20:59 |
| jhutchins | encrypt128bit: in my experience, it's best to have just / and swap. | 21:00 |
| jhutchins | Back up the data in home so reinstalling isn't an issue. | 21:00 |
| MrJoey | In the Ubiquity (default) installer, if you use the first partitioning option (like in this dialog: http://img379.imageshack.us/my.php?image=feistydual06rw5.png), and there's a Windows NTFS partition, will it automatically shrink the Windows partition and install Linux in the free space specified? | 21:00 |
| encrypt128bit | jhutchins: Thanks | 21:00 |
| jhutchins | encrypt128bit: I don't store much in /home/jhutchins, mostly it's on a server symlinked to there. | 21:01 |
| jhutchins | encrypt128bit: I've hit a lot of systems that ran out of space in / or /var because they put all the space in the /home partition. | 21:01 |
| keto | sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras ?? | 21:01 |
| jhutchins | encrypt128bit: My gentoo samba server at the law office has some wierd symlinks to fix that problem. | 21:01 |
| encrypt128bit | jhutchins: Ahh, heheh. good point. | 21:02 |
| keto | i did it and works | 21:02 |
| jhutchins | Murphy's law says that if you partition, the space you need will be on the wrong partition. | 21:02 |
| keto | but it says sun-java6-bin: Depende: sun-java6-jre (= 6-03-0ubuntu2) pero no va a instalarse | 21:02 |

| encrypt128bit | thanks trappist | 21:03 |
| BluesKaj | keto, maybe #kubuntu-es will help you | 21:04 |
| trappist | keto: try, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-bin | 21:04 |
| jhutchins | !java | keto | 21:05 |
| ubotu | keto: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre. Please don't use Adept to install Java if you are on Kubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) or earlier. | 21:05 |
| encrypt128bit | Is there a maximum space you can set your swap to? like, double your ram or what. | 21:05 |
| jhutchins | encrypt128bit: It can be whatever you want, rule-of-thumb has been 2x RAM up to 2G. | 21:06 |
| trappist | encrypt128bit: there's a maximum you *should* set your swap space to. that number is hotly debated and depends on how you'll be using the machine, how much ram you have, etc. | 21:06 |
| encrypt128bit | Thanks again. Heh | 21:07 |
| trappist | encrypt128bit: if you're using a 32bit OS, and your ram+swap exceeds 4GB, you can't use anything more than that. | 21:07 |
| jhutchins | If you're going to do something that, say, pokes a 6G video into /tmp, it had better be plenty. | 21:07 |
| jhutchins | However, if you actually _use_ more than 2x RAM you'll spend an awful lot of time swapping. | 21:08 |

| m1fcj | hi all, I have a problem with Compiz, every time I login, if freezes my KDE session, logging in with Gnome, I can see a config which was different than mine | 21:16 |
| m1fcj | how do I prevent Compiz from being initialized after I login? | 21:16 |
| SlimeyPete | ubuntu: what's wrong with it? | 21:17 |
| ScorpKing | m1fcj: look in .kde/Autostart if there isn't a script that starts it when you log in | 21:17 |
| m1fcj | ScorpKing: Autosstart directory is virtually empty (apart from a .directory) | 21:18 |
| DaSkreech | ubuntu: Welcome! | 21:18 |
| ScorpKing | m1fcj: does it freeze straight away? | 21:18 |
| m1fcj | I touched a $HOME/.config/compiz/disable-compiz but didn't work out | 21:18 |
| m1fcj | ScorpKing: KDe starts up and loads, when it's loading my session, it attempts to start compiz, after that keyboard and mouse is out of action, CTRL-ALT-Fx doesn't work | 21:19 |
| m1fcj | unfortunately it's on wireless so I can't get on to it using ssh either (knetworkmanager kicks in at one point and asks for the key) | 21:19 |

| ubotu | ubotu: In KDE, use « kdesudo <program> » (Gutsy) or « kdesu <program> » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 21:23 |

| ScorpKing | m1fcj: aptitude search compiz and see what's still installed | 21:27 |
| athena | well the first thing i want to do is make sure i don't need to use aptitude...i prefer synaptic | 21:28 |
| BluesKaj | athena, sudo apt-get update | 21:28 |

| ScorpKing | Black_Monkey: weird. maybe you have it installed | 21:31 |
| twosouls82 | Black_Monkey: cat /etc/issue | 21:32 |
| Black_Monkey | but I mean, is there any difference between feisty's kdesu and gutsy's kdesudo, or just a name change? | 21:32 |
| twosouls82 | what version do you use? | 21:32 |
| Black_Monkey | Ubuntu 7.10 \n \l | 21:32 |
| ScorpKing | Black_Monkey: kdesudo has a few changes and is more secure that kdesu | 21:32 |

| Black_Monkey | hm, I don't have kdesudo | 21:33 |
| athena | what would i type in to get the synaptic package manager? I think i can do it from there | 21:33 |
| ScorpKing | m1fcj: hehe. what else was installed? | 21:33 |
| m1fcj | ScorpKing: any idea where KDE stores its compiz config? I suspect it is different than where gnome stores... | 21:33 |

| m1fcj | hmm, I did find . -iname *compiz* but that's a good idea... | 21:34 |
| * ScorpKing doesn't know how to use find.. | 21:34 | |
| BluesKaj | athena, perhaps you need to enable more repositories in your sources.list | 21:34 |
| twosouls82 | use "find $HOME -iname '*compiz*'" | 21:34 |
| athena | again thanks :-) | 21:35 |
| m1fcj | naively I thought it must be in a file including the name compiz! :) | 21:35 |

| Black_Monkey | jhutchins_lt: FC5, then Kubuntu 6.06 | 22:32 |
| jhutchins_lt | Black_Monkey: problem with all of them? | 22:32 |
| Black_Monkey | yeah | 22:32 |
| rickest | rysiek|pl: safety first. remove chairs, distribute pink slips. I like it | 22:32 |
| jhutchins_lt | Black_Monkey: Have you tried lilo instead of grub? | 22:32 |
| RogueJediX | Is there a guide for sharing samba shares on kubuntu to windows anywhere? | 22:32 |
| Black_Monkey | jhutchins_lt: no, would it be tricky to install lilo? | 22:33 |
| rysiek|pl | rickest: yup. and if "SQL Server Gal" is around, just watch for those SQL Injections... | 22:33 |
| rysiek|pl | play safe, kids ;) | 22:33 |
| rickest | RogueJediX: google for 'ubuntu swat', that might be a good starter | 22:33 |
| RogueJediX | Cheers, rickest | 22:33 |
| jhutchins_lt | Black_Monkey: Should be pretty much apt-get install lilo, check /etc/lilo.conf, run lilo, reboot. | 22:33 |
| Black_Monkey | ok | 22:34 |
| rysiek|pl | Black_Monkey: plus, liloconf (or something similar, don't remember right now) | 22:35 |
| jhutchins_lt | My guess would be that there's something wrong in hardware, and/or the BIOS is having trouble initializing the drive. | 22:35 |
| rysiek|pl | Black_Monkey: upon installing lilo you'll get the info on-screen | 22:35 |
| jhutchins_lt | rysiek|pl: That's probably a conf generator. apt should generate a workable file, I'm not sure. | 22:35 |
| Black_Monkey | the only lilo.conf file is /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/lilo.conf | 22:36 |
| Black_Monkey | I don't see any info after installing | 22:36 |
| Daisuke_Ido | RogueJediX: you're better off installing SFU on the windows side and using NFS, far more reliable in my experience :) | 22:36 |
| keto | en español? | 22:39 |

| Arwen | hey cool, ext4 will support defragging | 22:40 |
| rysiek|pl | Arwen: huh? afaik ext3 "supports" defragging, but it's simply not needed | 22:41 |
| Arwen | err... not needed my ass | 22:41 |
| Arwen | and ext4 will support in that it will come with an actual defragger | 22:41 |
| miladen | How do i uninstall wine apps? | 22:41 |
| Arwen | miladen, run the uninstaller | 22:41 |
| RogueJediX | Daisuke_Ido: What's SFU? And yeah, Samba is a total pain | 22:43 |
| jhutchins_lt | Black_Monkey: Sorry. Ok, there may be a util called liloconf that generates one, try that. | 22:44 |
| Daisuke_Ido | RogueJediX: Services for Unix | 22:44 |
| jhutchins_lt | dpkg -configure lilo? | 22:44 |
| keto | en español | 22:44 |
| Black_Monkey | dpkg-configure: command not found | 22:45 |
| jhutchins_lt | Actually, I've run samba for years, I support a small office that replaced their NT server with Gentoo/samba. | 22:45 |

| Black_Monkey | there's a "lilo-conf" package, puts configuration in kcontrol | 22:45 |

| jhutchins_lt | Black_Monkey: That's pretty good. | 22:46 |
| Xbehave | compiz seams to be breaking suspend resume is this a known issue? im on intel drivers | 22:47 |
| jhutchins_lt | With samba, it helps a lot to use Squid to configure it. | 22:47 |
| jhutchins_lt | Squid has links for each config command that jump to the relevant portion of the docs. | 22:47 |
| jeffy84963 | yay, IRC is now allowed through my firewall :-) | 22:48 |
| jeffy84963 | bye | 22:48 |
| jhutchins_lt | Xbehave: compiz breaking just about anything is pretty much a known issue, but you might find help in #compiz. | 22:49 |
| Black_Monkey | jhutchins_lt: so is there anything I'd need to change in that? | 22:49 |
| jhutchins_lt | Black_Monkey: I couldn't be sure, I could look at the file it generates. | 22:50 |
| jhutchins_lt | !paste | 22:50 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 22:50 |
| Xbehave | lol thx | 22:50 |
| Black_Monkey | :-S it won't let me access lilo.conf... | 22:50 |
| Black_Monkey | oh, nvm | 22:51 |

| epland | When i try to run adept i get database error; "Another process is using the packaging system database" but i have closed all other programs, someone know how to fix it? | 22:52 |
| SlimeyPete | !aptfix | epland | 22:53 |
| ubotu | epland: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 22:53 |
| jhutchins_lt | Black_Monkey: Ok, did it run lilo? | 22:53 |
| epland | ok | 22:53 |
| jhutchins_lt | I've got to go feed horses. To be sure, you can sudo lilo, then just reboot. | 22:53 |
| jhutchins_lt | Black_Monkey: I'd consider removing some of the extra kernels too. | 22:53 |
| Black_Monkey | ok, thanks | 22:54 |
| jhutchins_lt | gtg, bye. | 22:54 |
| Black_Monkey | anything below 2.6.22? | 22:54 |
| wad | BluesKaj, Okay, so that helped. | 22:55 |
| wad | BluesKaj, I can control my sound with the alsamixer | 22:55 |
| miladen | How do i run a .sh file? | 22:55 |
| wad | KMix is broken, though. Does yours work? | 22:55 |
| rickest | miladen: sh name-of-file.sh | 22:55 |
| rickest | miladen: or 'chmod +x name-of-file.sh' then './name-of-file.sh' | 22:56 |
| hydrogen | better to run it with bash | 22:56 |
| hydrogen | as a lot of scripts make silly assumptions that thats really what you mean | 22:56 |
| rickest | dash anyone? :) | 22:57 |
| Daisuke_Ido | why the change to dash anyway? | 22:58 |
| rickest | Daisuke_Ido: it's much faster for many tasks | 22:58 |
| Daisuke_Ido | is there something inherently wrong with bash? | 22:58 |
| twosouls82 | dash is for system scripts, it is faster.. bash is for user scripts.. because most authors of those use Bash specific functions | 22:58 |
| Daisuke_Ido | twosouls82: capt. obvious? | 22:59 |
| Daisuke_Ido | bash is for user scripts because users use bash. groundbreaking stuff, that :) | 22:59 |
| rickest | [15:58:20] rickest | Daisuke_Ido: it's much faster for many tasks | 23:00 |
| rickest | [15:58:33] Daisuke_Ido | is there something inherently wrong with bash? | 23:00 |
| rickest | I'm guessing he thought you needed a simplified answer | 23:00 |
| Daisuke_Ido | rickest: so... there's nothing *wrong* with bash. | 23:00 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i was typing that before you answered :) | 23:00 |
| rickest | Daisuke_Ido: no, although some define 'slow' as 'wrong'. depends I suppose | 23:00 |
| rickest | ;-) | 23:01 |
| Daisuke_Ido | just wondering if the broken installer scripts (lokigames, i'm looking at you) that require bash are worth the improvement acquired in dash | 23:01 |
| rickest | Daisuke_Ido: bash has a TON of incredibly useful functionality which most *basic* scripts simply don't need. that's what the whole dash/bash thing is about | 23:01 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ah | 23:01 |
| bobdole102 | My KDE system is eating resources off my computer. I'm running a 2.8 ghz machine with 2 gigs of ram and I can barely stay afloat. Help, please. | 23:01 |
| rickest | point being all that useful functionality costs dearly in terms of startup time, etc. | 23:02 |
| nosrednaekim | bobdole102 » uhh what does "free -m" say? | 23:02 |
| bobdole102 | nosrednaekim: used: 690, free: 1337 | 23:03 |
| rickest | Daisuke_Ido: regardless of that, it's practically undebatable that if a script NEEDS bash, it should be '#!/bin/bash' not '#!/bin/sh' | 23:03 |
| bobdole102 | That's for memory | 23:03 |
| nosrednaekim | bobdole102 » thats hardly "sinking" | 23:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | rickest: i agree | 23:04 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i guess it's like the kde 4.0 release in a way | 23:04 |
| bobdole102 | It seems not, but the memory usage on ksysguard is horrible. It's up in the high two millions. My buds computer running t he exact same system and software isn't topping 500000 | 23:04 |
| Daisuke_Ido | yes, things are going to be broken, but it has to be done at some point. | 23:04 |
| Bauldrick | can i get a static ip with knetworkmanager wpa2 | 23:04 |
| rickest | Daisuke_Ido: whether or not moving *buntu to dash to force that issue is yet another valid debate :) | 23:04 |
| dZen|n| | I have trouble with wine, can I update it so i can use xp programs, right now it's only win2000 support on it? | 23:05 |
| hydrogen | rickest: well, it shouldn't be #!/bin/bash... as bash is not guaranteed to be in the bin directory | 23:05 |
| Daisuke_Ido | dZen|n|: uh... what? | 23:05 |
| JohnFlux | bobdole102: what program is using all the memory? | 23:05 |
| JohnFlux | bobdole102: according to ksysguard | 23:05 |
| Daisuke_Ido | since when does wine only support win2k? maybe 4 years ago | 23:05 |
| rickest | hydrogen: I disagree. if it uses bash features, it MUST be '#!/bin/bash' meaning bash is a dependency of that script | 23:05 |
| bobdole102 | kiohttp is running 5 instances of itself with 20000 used each | 23:05 |
| hydrogen | dZen|n|: run wineconfig | 23:05 |
| hydrogen | rickest: no no no, you completely missed my point | 23:05 |
| hydrogen | bash is _not_ required to be located at /bin/bash | 23:06 |
| hydrogen | sh is required to be at /bin/sh | 23:06 |
| dZen|n| | Daisuke_Ido: wine only supports win2000, I try to install voipbuster and is only supported on xp and vista | 23:06 |
| rickest | hydrogen: ahh, yes | 23:06 |
| hydrogen | bash can just as easily (and rightly) be installed in /usr/bin | 23:06 |
| Daisuke_Ido | dZen|n|: so go into winecfg | 23:06 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and click the little dropdown that says windows 2000 | 23:06 |
| rickest | hydrogen: well there is that 'env' syntax that should do it | 23:06 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and change it to xp! | 23:06 |
| BluesKaj | wad, sorry i was having some dinner open kmix and enable Master & PCM on the output tab , then CD & IEC playback (if listed) in the Input tab , next make sure Mix & IEC958 (if IEC958 is listed) are enabled in the Switches tab , then click on Settings/Configure Kmix and apply | 23:06 |
| twosouls82 | hydrogen: is env always at "/usr/bin/env" ? | 23:06 |
| rickest | twosouls82: hehe, that's the next logical question | 23:07 |
| twosouls82 | "#/usr/bin/env bash" would work in that case | 23:07 |
| hydrogen | twosouls82: I think so.. except for when env is network shared and perhaps not availible.. (but that should only occur during bootup when using scripts that depend on whatever /bin/sh is | 23:07 |
| rickest | twosouls82: apparently that's more portable than #!/bin/bash but, naturally, it's still not foolproof | 23:08 |
| twosouls82 | it was just a though | 23:08 |
| twosouls82 | +t | 23:08 |
| Daisuke_Ido | dZen|n|: not to mention, that brings up a problem with the way windows programs are written - if it runs on XP, there's almost no reason (barring some games) that it shouldn't run on 2k. so... that's also partly the software author's stupidity for putting in an artificial version limitation | 23:09 |
| bobdole102 | JohnFlux: I also can't seem to kill the kiohttp processes without them restarting | 23:09 |
| Daisuke_Ido | bobdole102: are you using konqueror as your browser? | 23:09 |
| JohnFlux | bobdole102: close konqueror maybe? | 23:09 |
| miladen | i just installed crossover but i have no idea how to start it? i dont know where it is | 23:09 |
| Daisuke_Ido | oiy | 23:09 |
| Daisuke_Ido | miladen: did you buy it? | 23:10 |
| miladen | yea | 23:10 |
| Daisuke_Ido | because if you did you got ripped off | 23:10 |
| miladen | why? | 23:10 |
| bobdole102 | JohnFlux and Daisuke_Ido: Konquerer isn't running | 23:10 |
| Daisuke_Ido | wine will do the same thing just fien | 23:10 |
| Daisuke_Ido | fine* | 23:10 |
| Daisuke_Ido | what are you trying to run | 23:10 |
| miladen | no its because i have an app wine cant run | 23:10 |
| miladen | Portrait Professional | 23:10 |
| dZen|n| | Daisuke_Ido: ok | 23:10 |
| dZen|n| | when I run wineconfig it tells me that wine isn't installed :p | 23:11 |
| dZen|n| | But it is | 23:11 |
| hydrogen | try asking in #kcrossover miladen ? | 23:11 |
| Daisuke_Ido | winecfg, not wineconfig | 23:11 |
| miladen | #kcrossover | 23:12 |
| miladen | oops | 23:12 |
| twosouls82 | nice mistake :) | 23:12 |
| miladen | hehe | 23:12 |
| miladen | sorry | 23:12 |
| miladen | YES! | 23:16 |
| miladen | crossover did the trick even though wine couldnt do it :D | 23:16 |
| miladen | but i still know wine is nicer ;) | 23:16 |

| BluesKaj | 8:43 EST | 23:28 |
| karthikp | Cool. | 23:29 |
| karthikp | Lunar eclipses are slower than solar ones, generally. | 23:29 |
| nosrednaekim | its cloudy here.... and snowing | 23:29 |
| Daisuke_Ido | yeah, it's going to be visible all night | 23:29 |
| karthikp | So, I supose checking up around ten would be nice (Eastern). | 23:30 |
| karthikp | http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/lunar.html | 23:30 |
| BluesKaj | yeah Flare183, nosrednaekim , very cold & clear evening here in Ontario , so the eclipse should be quite a sight | 23:30 |

| ForzaPalermo | anyone have any idea how to get port 5900 to work with x11vnc instead of 5901, it used to work, but now its display 0, port 5901 | 23:37 |
| ForzaPalermo | i would like to kill that pid so to speak | 23:37 |
| BluesKaj | ForzaPalermo, router ? | 23:37 |
| ForzaPalermo | BluesKaj, yes have one, and have everything set for port 5900 | 23:38 |
| ForzaPalermo | now x11vnc uses port 5901 display :1 | 23:38 |
| ForzaPalermo | i think there i s away to kill dispaly 0 to use it again? | 23:39 |
| BluesKaj | port forward TCP port 5901 in port mapping on your router settings page, if you have access | 23:39 |
| ForzaPalermo | i do, but i dont want 5901 | 23:40 |
| ForzaPalermo | i want it to be 5900 | 23:40 |
| Dragnslcr | Unless you've specified x11vnc to use display :0, it's probably starting a new display | 23:40 |
| ForzaPalermo | Dragnslcr, right | 23:40 |
| michael | Hey all, konqueror is crashing my session, how do i go about filing a bug report? | 23:40 |
| Dragnslcr | You might also have something else already listening on port 5900 | 23:40 |
| ForzaPalermo | but i want it back to display :0 , not display :1 | 23:40 |
| ForzaPalermo | how can i kill whats listning on port 5900 | 23:40 |
| Daisuke_Ido | let's see, it's using one port up and one display up... is it already running? | 23:41 |
| Dragnslcr | sudo netstat -ltp | 23:41 |
| Dragnslcr | See if something is already using 5900 | 23:41 |
| michael | as soon as i go to "view" then "most often visited" i see a menu, full width, blank, then, session crashes. anyone know? i'm using kubuntu 7.10, kde 3.5.9 | 23:42 |
| BluesKaj | maybe there's 2 instances of x11vnc running | 23:42 |
| ForzaPalermo | tcp 6 - sshd | 23:42 |
| ForzaPalermo | ssh? | 23:43 |
| ForzaPalermo | can it be that | 23:43 |
| ForzaPalermo | i tried configuring a ssh tunnel along time ago to no avail | 23:43 |
| Dragnslcr | Could be, if you tried setting up a tunnel for VNC | 23:43 |
| ForzaPalermo | do i uninstall ssh? | 23:44 |
| ForzaPalermo | or can i stop it from using that port | 23:44 |
| Dragnslcr | You should be able to just kill the process | 23:44 |
| ForzaPalermo | lol | 23:45 |
| ForzaPalermo | that did it | 23:45 |
| root----- | is there any app (else than screen saver) that can be run as system service and locks screen and a password has to be given to unlock. (not the user pwd)? | 23:46 |
| ForzaPalermo | thanks guys, i guess i should uninstall openssh | 23:46 |
| ForzaPalermo | and all that stuff since i couldnt get it to work | 23:46 |
| tcm_ | root-----: search for xlock | 23:48 |
| root----- | tcm_ ya. i have it but it asks for the current user s pwd | 23:48 |
